Research notes

The continuous curves of Galaxy SOHO are echoed at a different scale in its interior floors.

Flowcrete identifies Mondéco Crystal epoxy terrazzo, installed in contrasting light and dark bands within the Beijing office-and-retail development. Its account describes crystal and glass aggregates in the resin system.

A floor finish can reinforce a route through a large complex without being the material that makes its external shape. Read the bands as an interior design layer, and keep the supplier installation record separate from the chronology of the whole building.

What the sources do not establish
  • Installed colour codes and floor build-up are not stated here.
  • The supplier case-study year is not treated as the building completion date.
