What this project had to solve
A four-metre entrance wall in book-matched marquetry, with the vein running continuous across every mirrored pair.
Stone palette: Crema Marfil, malachite, lapis, onyx, brass.
Palace-Scale Villa, Dongguan in detail
This grand villa in Dongguan required three complementary stone arts: an intricate ballroom floor conceived as a woven stone carpet, gem-inlaid salon murals, and a four-meter entrance feature wall in book-matched marble.
For the vertical feature wall, sequential slabs were opened leaf-by-leaf, aligning organic quartz veining into calm bilateral symmetry before inlaying delicate semi-precious agate fillets.
The ballroom floor was composed in warm Crema Marfil with inlays of malachite and lapis lazuli, dry-assembled and hand-lapped to ensure an ultra-smooth barefoot finish across the entire formal hall.
By engineering all floor and wall components within a shared CAD coordinate system, the room's central axis aligns flawlessly from the threshold through the salon sequence.
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.
