Regarding Marbled Infinity Sales Center Reception
Marbled Infinity is a reception area serving the lobby and sales center of a construction company headquarters in Taichung, Taiwan. The interior covers 248 square meters. A counter made from a single imported piece of Carrara white marble forms the visual focus. Because of its weight, the marble counter was placed before the flooring was laid, and the floor material follows its edge and spreads outward. A black bench with a curved form contrasts with the white marble. A glass facade opens the calm interior to passing pedestrians.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Subtly underlining the visual focus, the unembellished white marble counter is completely integrated into the scenery. Like a glacier covered with silver and white snow, the marble counter resides with a silent tolerance. Moreover, there is a black bench with an elegant curvature, forming a perfect visual triangle with the marble counter. The juxtaposition of black and white and the contrast of light and dark inspire a unique visual appeal.
- Inspiration
- The designer explores the essence of this design project, responds to the environmental characters of the site, emphasizes the integrity of structure and form, and aesthetics, and pursues the texture of materials and decorations. Breaking the spatial boundary, the horizon permeates the tranquility in all directions. As if walking into a silver-white snowfield, a new realm of time and space is introduced. The consistent marble design boasts an invisible boundary that broadens the visual space with boundless possibilities.
- Research
- This project is a lobby for a construction company headquarters and a reception of the Sales Center. When passing by, pedestrians can easily feel the unique beauty of tranquility through the glass. The glass facade stretches the boundless view, creating visual surprises through the bidirectional perspective. A minimalism emerges from the pure arrangement contrasting with the darkness of the black door frame and the black, diamond-patterned steel structure of the window.
- Challenge
- Due to the weight of the whole size counter marble, contractors positioned it before flooring construction. The floor material is laid along the edge of the counter to spread outward to blend in with the landscape. The presence of the marble forms a natural scenery in the space. A stainless-steel mirror covers the surface of the pedestal, rotating when the night falls, along with the building models sitting on it.
- Realization and Technology
- The counter marble was imported in one piece. Due to its weight, contractors positioned it before flooring construction. The floor material is laid along the edge of the counter and is spread outward to blend in with the landscape. The stability of the marble forms a natural scenery in the space.
- Operation and Interaction
- The focus of this design is to achieve a consistency of space and to maximize the value of contextual art. An extended perception is achieved by the essence of space.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished in June 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- Project Dimensions: 248 Square Meters. Materials: Thin slab tiles, Natural stone (Carrara white marble), Metallic Laminate, Titanium plated metal
