In the vertical city of Taizhou, the Tengda Center stands as a beacon of corporate modernity. The exterior is a soaring curtain of glass, but the interior ground plane is grounded in the geological authority of marble. The design brief called for a lobby that felt futuristic yet timeless—a vision achieved through a stark, monochromatic palette and daring geometric forms.

The Materiality: A Study in Contrast The space is defined by a dramatic dialogue between the floor and the walls. The flooring is executed in Nero Marquina (or a similar premium Black Marble), polished to a mirror finish that creates a sense of infinite depth. Rising from this dark foundation are walls clad in Statuario White, featuring iconic grey veining that electrifies the surface.

The Engineering: Stone Honeycomb Technology The true architectural feat, however, is the wall geometry. The design features a "folded plate" or prismatic profile—a rhythmic, zigzagging surface that plays with light and shadow (Images 3 & 4). Executing this sharp, angular form in solid slab stone would be structurally inefficient and dangerously heavy.

To solve this, we deployed Stone Aluminum Honeycomb Composite Technology.

As revealed in the factory fabrication shots (Image 5), we utilized a 5mm veneer of the premium white marble laminated to an aerospace-grade aluminum honeycomb core. This composite engineering offers three critical advantages for this project:

1. Weight Reduction: The panels are approximately 80% lighter than solid stone, putting significantly less load on the building's superstructure.

2. Precision Mitering: The honeycomb backing allows us to cut sharp, 45-degree miters to create the triangular prism shapes seen in the dry-lay. These sharp arisses would be too fragile in solid stone.

3. Impact Resistance: In a high-traffic corporate lobby, the honeycomb core acts as a shock absorber, making the marble veneer virtually unbreakable.

The Result: Seamless Monolith The installation (Image 2) conceals its high-tech origins. The veins of the Statuario marble are meticulously matched across the folded planes, a testament to our rigorous dry-lay process (Image 5) where every angular module was pre-assembled in the factory. The result is an interior that feels carved from a single, massive block of stone, yet is engineered with the lightness and precision of an aircraft fuselage.
