The project is located next to the stone block storage yard in Shuitou, Nan'an. Design aims to build a stone showroom that highlights raw stones as the main feature.

The space uses marble stone and concrete as the sole primary materials, Utilizing the malleability of stone, raw marble blocks are cut into different sizes and proportions, integrating various techniques into architecture and interior spaces to create a space that is purely defined by stone.

The exhibition hall is divided into three main areas. The stacking arrangement of different partition walls within the space creates gaps that provide both separation and connection, forming a circular pathway that allows people to navigate through and explore the hidden stone trails embedded in various areas.

Based on the advantages of being close to the raw material storage yard, the project reduced transportation costs by sourcing materials on-site. The recycling and reuse of scrap marble stone materials were utilized as concrete aggregates for casting walls and diamond grinding concrete floors. This promotes sustainable development in construction and advocates for environmentally sustainable design concepts.
