Terrazzo dates back to 15th-century Italy, evolving from the mosaic artistry of ancient Rome. One of the world’s original sustainable building materials, it emerged from Venetian marble workers' ingenuity, repurposing discarded stone chips into durable, decorative surfaces. Today, terrazzo is still poured by hand on-site, with options for precast and waterjet-cut elements. Stone, recycled glass, or other aggregates, often sourced locally, are embedded in a cement or epoxy base, which is then polished to reveal the chips. Known for its design flexibility, low maintenance, and longevity, terrazzo is built to last the life of the building.
