Normally for a marble or stone showroom, a well Spread area is most important to display a lot of variety at a stretch. But when there is a lack of Spreaded area and constrain in plot size, it’s a real challenge to accommodate a number of varieties and stock of stone at a stretch. In that case, the design aspect is very crucial and one has to think differently.
At Baba Marble, we faced the challenge of constraining land as the plot area is only 9,805 Sq. Ft. After leaving the needful margin on all sides, we were left with only 4,000 Sq. Ft as plinth area which in a way is very less in terms of stocking of variety of marbles. So, we decided to go vertical both ways.
On Ground Floor, Italian marble stock is being displayed as we made a structure able to withstand a load of marble as well. This way we accommodated marble stock on Ground Floor and First Floor. On Second Floor, it’s being used to display the variety of tiles which is a new vertical for the owner. The third floor is utilized half for the marble articles and half is the terrace area which is for the display of marble articles along with a solar roof, fulfilling the needs of the entire building. The Basement, which is actually a parking space is also wisely used for the display of various Indian Stones with various finishes on the wall. Here without violating any norms we have utilized the area for a nicer display which is serving the purpose of displaying Indian Stone detail.
The owner is very well known in the dealing of Indian Stones for years and we also wanted to promote Indian materials at their best with a variety of applications and finishes. That is being reflected in the entire development of the store. The core material used in major construction is exposed concrete which is meticulously detailed in a way that it becomes the final finish of the overall environment.
