Centre House is an office complex in Belfast. For the coverings of the building’s entrance hall, the Ply Design architecture firm opted for Marazzi Mystone Ceppo di Gré, an elegant, refined stone-effect stoneware that reproduces the beauty of Ceppo di Gré, the grey-blue sedimentary rock found in Italy’s Lombardy region. Two shades were chosen for the lobby: Greige and Anthracite, both in the 75x75 cm size. The architects used the two different colours to create a distinction between the reception and entrance areas, an ideal strategy for visually separating two areas intended for different functions.

The design of the office building was developed from the Connext logo. The airspace with its bridges connects four square structures of different sizes in a cross shape.In the individual structures, the workplaces are separated by glass partitions with sliding glass doors. This floods the combination zone in the middle of the square surfaces with light. The flexibility of the building is evident not only in the different floor areas, but also in the design with cavity floors and easily movable partitions: The floor plans of the offices can be adapted as required.To the outside, the four building structures with their stone façades appear rather massive. The mullion-and-transom façade between the cubes is set back and allows li... More
