Technical information

The resistance structure of the building consists of external load-bearing walls and skeleton made of beams and columns with dimensions of 500x500, which are made of reinforced concrete. The floors and stairs are made of reinforced concrete too. The foundation of the building was made of rough stone. The load-bearing walls are made of white stone blocks, finished with plaster and light blue composite panels on the outside and ordinary plaster on the inside. Gaps are provided for both doors and windows.
Mostly, natural materials and texture were used while designing this showroom. The furniture and some decorative elements are made of MDF, which imitates the wood texture. As an accent, the walls are finished with Venetian plaster in some areas. It abstractly imitates the water texture, because the sanitary ware is related to water.
