White Floor

2D image of the white marble floor: This image was provided by the client with exact measurements (13ft, 7 inches x 9ft, 8 inches). There was wood panelling to be done around the floor therefore, we had to make the floor to the exact millimetre so that could fit in the wooden panelling like a pre-fab.
3D rendering of the interior provided by the client: The client provided a 3D render of their future space from many angles so that we could envision where the floor would go.

Semi-finished inlay: The semi-precious stones are kept on top of the marble slab. A quarter of the work was done. The photo of the same was sent to the client for approval before actually inlaying the stones into the marble by digging a cavity. This step is crucial to ensure that the client is happy with the work and any modifications can be accommodated at this stage as well.
Finished floor with polishing: The final floor was made in 2 sections and polished to a high gloss mirror finish. It was packed and shipped in 2 separate crates.
