"Blurring boundaries between interior & exterior"... The project being a marble showroom, the obvious challenge was to respond to the design brief at hand. The plot of land was neatly fragmented to incorporate the various needs of the Organization such as the factory, Office building, Dining Block, landscape features and also the desired vehicular movements. All sections have been designed in such a way that design elements complement each other. All this meant giving individuality to various sections of the facility as well as weaving them into a cohesive whole. As a concept it was decided to use marble in its purest form and strictly adhere to the quality of finishing as we believe that often it is the unseen details that clearly make the overall visual impact. The building facade is conceptualized to be a stone and glass edifice. On entering one is greeted with a 30 ft. high waterfall feature which adds the necessary glamor and relieving soothing sound to the area. Dry cladding of about 30 ft. onyx, which is naturally lit during the day and back-lit during the night, creates a play of light and shadow. The display room has the marble samples lined against the wall. To add to the aesthetic appeal and to heighten the dimension of the space herein, a free floating suspended elliptical structure is placed in the middle of the room. The dining block is a separate entity. The beauty of the block is that although its completely glazed to blur the boundaries between interior and exterior space, the harsh sunlight does not penetrate through the block because of its tapering form.
