Eight points.
One craft.
Octile is the work of one studio that took years sweating the details everyone else skips. The name comes from the eight-pointed star — a centuries-old tiling motif that only works if every cut lands true. That's the standard we hold the whole job to.

The story
Octile started where every honest trade starts — on someone else's crew, watching corners get cut and wondering why so few installers ever drew the floor before they reached for a wet saw.
The work since has been quieter and slower than most: substrate prep, dry-lay, snap lines, mock-ups for the homeowner before mortar touches the floor. Then the tile.
It's how a kitchen backsplash ends with a full tile in both corners. It's how a shower floor pitches to the drain without a single visible swirl in the grout. It's how the room reads as one continuous thought instead of a checklist.
How we operate
The four
non-negotiables.
- 01
Substrate first
If the substrate isn't true, no tile will save it. We start the job before the first piece comes out of the box.
- 02
Geometry as discipline
Layouts are drawn, not guessed. Cuts land where the eye wants them to land — corners, sightlines, focal walls.
- 03
One crew, start to finish
The hands that quote the job are the hands that set it. No subcontracted shortcuts halfway through.
- 04
Clean walk-off
Tools off the floor at the end of every day. Walkthrough, care guide, leftover material labeled and stacked.
