What this project had to solve
A double-height living hall where the pattern had to hold its proportions from both floor and gallery.
Delivered for a classical Beijing residence: inlay across a double-height living hall, corridors and galleries, harmonised with ornate ceilings and holding its proportions from floor and gallery alike.
Private Classical Residence, Beijing in detail
This classical Beijing residence has a double-height living hall viewed from both the floor and the gallery above — so the inlay had to hold its proportions from two very different angles. The pattern was harmonised with the ornate ceilings.
Fields, framed borders and gallery-level details were cut from Crema Marfil, Nero Marquina and Emperador to ±0.1mm, then dry-assembled and photographed for sign-off. The layout was set out so no field panel was cut awkwardly at the walls.
Installed, the living hall, corridors and galleries carry one coherent inlay language — as legible from the balcony as from the entrance.
The gallery-level panels were cut from the same drawing as the ground-floor field, so the pattern resolves identically from either level. The ornate ceiling was surveyed first, so every border lands beneath a moulding rather than a coffer.
From drawing to crating
Full-size drawing
The pattern is drawn 1:1 on the atelier floor before any stone is cut, so proportions are settled at the scale you will walk on.
Stone selection
Blocks and slabs are chosen against the drawing, vein by vein, and photographed for your approval.
Waterjet cutting
Multi-axis waterjet cuts every piece direct from the approved CAD file, held to ±0.1mm across the whole figure.
Dry assembly & crating
The composition is assembled, inspected and numbered on the factory floor, then crated with a setting plan.
