CLASSIC MARBLE COMPANY | ZZ Architects

The office of Classic Marble Company is located in Silvassa and is spread over 4,00,000 sq.ft. The project being a marble showroom, the obvious challenge was to respond to the design brief at hand. Sensitivity to the product and the design language of the office was essential right from the conceptualization of the space. 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 face was conceptualized to be a glass and stone edifice. On entering, one is greeted with a 30 ft high waterfall feature, which adds the necessary glamour & relieving soothing sound to the area. The space is awash with light streaming from the large glass skylight in the central space. Dry cladding of about 30ft in onyx, which is naturally sky-lit during the day and backlit during the night, creates a play of light and shadow. The display room has marble samples lined against the wall. To add to this aesthetic appeal and to heighten the dimension of space herein, a free floating suspended elliptical structure was placed in the middle of the room. The piece de resistance had to be the floating suspended wall introduced in the space. This Seamless floating structure almost seems ethereal and elegantly adds a sense of division to the space without reducing the visible space.
