The product you see here is Cementoresina by Kerakoll. The product consists of cement, marble and resin and it is solvent and VOC free and uses natural pigments. It says it has no joints so my assumption is that it is poured on for floors (3 mm thick) and troweled on for walls (2 mm thick). The top picture is of the MAXXI museum in Rome by Zaha Hadid where it looks like they used this material extensively.
The manufacturer claims that it comes in 45 different colors each with 5 different possible textures but, alas, it is so new that their website doesn't even list it. Kerakoll is one of the largest chemical manufacturers but they also have developed many environmentally friendly products. For example, they created a resin for this project in Milan. They also sponsor this guy in MotoGP if anyone is interested (that's Motorcycle Grand Prix for those of you who don't know and maybe are not interested.)
