Architecture

The design studio RAD, based in Hong Kong and responsible for the project, chose the Timeless Marble Slimtech collection to adorn corridors across 59 floors. In the Statuario White variant, the 3m x 1m slabs shape surfaces with their modern appeal. The delicate vein designs on the pristine white base tiles foster a luminous, open ambiance in the corridors of the building, linking spaces that are often neglected, yet here are reinvented into passages with distinct personalities. The aesthetic merges with the principles of durability and functionality of ceramic material which is non-absorbent and resistant to stains and wear; it also aligns with eco-sustainable trends—production methods that honor the environment, minimizing the use of water, energy, and raw materials. The building received it's LEED Platinum Certification in February 2023.
