Unique Properties: 1.Objective:
To create a sales office that serves as a showcase for displaying, selling, and facilitating interactions with clients.

2.Constraints:
The project has a low ceiling height of only 2.5 meters, resulting in limited vertical space, small floor area, dim indoor lighting, and poor natural light penetration.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1.Jade Glass
It has the characteristics of 1. translucency, 2. wear resistance, 3. zero radiation, and 4. eco-friendly recycling. It also has low maintenance costs and good visual effects.

2.DEKTON Slim Jade Rock Slab
The maximum original size is 3300X1400mm, with a thickness of only 4MM. It greatly reduces the structural load, making it applicable in various places such as ceilings, cabinets, and walls, presenting a visual aesthetic that extends from the ground to the bar ceiling.
Tags: Sales Office, Mirroring, Spatial Extension, Eco-friendly Materials
Production Technology: 1.Jade Glass
Jade glass is a special decorative material that combines the transparency of glass with the texture beauty of jade stone, creating a bright indoor environment.

2.Ceiling Panels: Dekton Slim Jade Stone Panels
Utilizing large-sized, lightweight, fusion, and recyclable Dekton Slim jade stone panels for ceiling and wall decoration, achieving seamless integration between the walls and ceilings, enhancing aesthetic appeal, and expanding the visual perception of space.
Design Challenge: Challenge: A low ceiling of 2.5 meters, a compact space, and limited natural light result in dim illumination.

1.Mirror Reflection: Mirrors on walls and ceilings visually enlarge the area, offering a sense of spaciousness.

2.Translucent Jade Rock Slabs: These allow for improved light penetration, brightening and adding transparency to the space.

3.High Gloss Materials: Mirrored stone and high-gloss lacquer enhance light reflection, increasing brightness and expanding the visual space.
Research: By strategically placing mirrored materials throughout the space, they can reflect and extend the actual 2.5-meter ceiling height to appear as if it is 5 meters or even higher, greatly expanding the space's height visually. This makes the entire space look much more open.
Inspiration: 1.Mirror:
By reflecting through mirrors, it breaks through the height limitation, visually enlarging the space, reflecting a mere 2.5M ceiling height to 5 meters or more.
2.LightWall:
The walls are made of translucent jade glass (an eco-friendly recycled material), with LED strips installed inside. The light passing through the jade glass overcomes the dimness of the space.
3.High-gloss materials:
Reflective stone materials and bright lacquer finishes expand the visual effect of the space.
Project Duration: The project began design in Shanghai, China, in May 2023 and was completed in Jiangxi Province, China, in February 2024.
Operation Flow: Transforming a sales office with a low ceiling height of 2.5 meters and a dimly lit space into a practical and aesthetically pleasing environment involves:

1.Utilizing the reflective effect of mirrors to virtually raise the ceiling height, making the interior visually more spacious.

2.By installing LED strip lights on translucent jade stone rock panel walls, a soft glow is created, beautifying the space while enhancing brightness.
