HBI Ceramiche
HBI Ceramiche is a corporate headquarters interior that also serves as a service center and an exhibition center. The facade is 17 meters high and 32 meters wide. A void shaped as a patio forms the core of the plan. Stepped elements create the exhibition platform, the stage and the seating, and the same stepped composition shapes the facade, so interior and exterior read as one form. Rock slabs are widely used as paving for an integrated surface. A small canteen was added for staff and visiting clients.
HBI Ceramiche Operational HQ by Zao Li was featured as an outstanding representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. HBI Ceramiche Operational HQ received the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2021. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade that celebrates excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
