I think that is more about what you like, concrete usually denotes a more modern feel, almost industrial if that is your style do concrete if not find a tile you love and do that.

Thanks Patricia and cpaul! I hadn't thought about glass. And I guess I should specify that a fully modular kitchen would not withstand the climate lol. The doors and Windows in General are traditionally made of teak wood and do warp somewhat but it's not a huge issue, so I fiured if all I am dealing with in the kitchen is the cabinet door it shouldn't be too hard to maintain. I actually ended up finding a blog about someone living in the tropical Philippine weather and how they covered their concrete counter with cabinets. Here is the link if anyone is interested http://myphilippinelife.com/our-philippine-house-project-kitchen-cabinets/ I think it turned out quite nice :) . This was their starting and final result. there are more photos in the blog. They basically recommended some prefabricated cabinets and strong hinges and screws for the wood frame.

ips flooring tends to get a flat gret texture once laid and dry. How to get a perfect concrete texture on it? Like in the picture below.

Your terrazzo flooring is one of the most durable floors but they need to be cleaned and sealed with a clear penetrating sealer to enhance their appearance and to prevent wear and tear. This is a hairline crack, simply sand the area with 80 grit paper, fill the crack with white portland cement, let dry, sand again with 200 grit paper, once satisfied apply concrete sealer.
