Paving The Way

Hafary’s new open-plan showroom is a meticulously planned microcosm of a city that lays the groundwork for immersive consumer experiences

In any residential design project, tiles and other surfaces form the base from which an interior is crafted. Be they natural stone tiles or porcelain slabs with designs inspired by wood and marble, these materials provide both functionality and beauty when thoughtfully selected for the walls and floors of a space.

To make its collections more accessible to customers, homegrown building materials supplier Hafary has teamed up with Park + Associates to create a show gallery with experiential spaces that bring its offerings to life. Situated within Hafary Gallery in Paya Lebar, this 43,000sqft space—the size of approximately three Olympic-sized swimming pools—promises to inspire all who visit.

“Design is for everyone,” says Jackson Tay, chief operating officer of Hafary. “We believe that the concept and the material offerings of this new showroom can inspire designers, architects and homeowners to look beyond the traditional function of tiles and stones as mere surface coverings, and see them as elements that play an extremely important role in setting the look and feel of everyday living spaces.”
