Jiaxing Railway Station, designed by MAD Architects, is China's first sunken ecological railway station, evoking the ambiance of a forest setting. The most striking feature is the sunken waiting hall, where Dongxing artificial inorganic terrazzo products are extensively utilized across the floor, walls, flower pots, benches, and ceiling. Aalborg White® cement, a key raw material, enhances the space with its high reflectivity, creating a luminous and futuristic atmosphere with the interplay of light and shadow. The project incorporates over 2,000 product specifications, including more than 900 irregular terrazzo components. The complexity of processing exceeds expectations, requiring precise machine positioning and meticulous manual polishing to ensure perfect alignment within the project layout.
