A lobby is photographed more than any other room in the building. Six or seven metal elements have to read as one surface, made by one workshop, to one finish standard.
Fabricated in 304 or 316L in our own factory in Foshan, then trial-assembled before packing.
A hotel public area is never one product. It is usually six or seven, made under one finish standard, and the standard is what fails when they come from different workshops.
| Element | What it is | Hard part | Tolerance we hold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Column casingThe round or square sleeve around a structural column | 2–4 mm sheet, formed into two or four segments, seam set at a recessed reveal. | Every column on site is a different size; a common part will not close. | Seam gap 3 mm ±0.5 mm |
| Reception wallThe clad wall behind the front desk | Flat or lightly curved panels on a concealed frame, with service access. | Keeping 26 m of panel line straight while the wall behind it is not. | Flatness 1.2 mm / m |
| Lift frontThe metal surround where lift doors meet the wall | Three-sided surround, returns folded, fixed without visible screws. | It must not obstruct the door leaf or the sill, at any point of travel. | Clearance per lift maker's drawing |
| Coffered ceilingA grid of recessed panels with lighting in the returns | Pressed or folded coffers with a lighting channel in the reveal. | Every coffer has four corners that must meet at the same width. | Corner gap 2 mm ±0.5 mm |
| Bar frontThe curved metal face over a stone or timber base | Curved segments, radius rolled, joined on site into one run. | Curvature that is a true radius, not a series of flats. | Radius ±3 mm over 8 m |
| ScreenA decorative partition, cut or woven | Laser-cut sheet or tube array, in a frame, often freestanding. | The pattern must read the same from both sides and not vibrate. | Aperture ±1 mm |
Longest of the six kinds, because a lobby is where the finish standard gets argued. We would rather argue it at D6 than at D60.

The mock-up is the step clients try to skip and later regret. A 1:1 corner in our workshop costs you two weeks now. Finding a colour mismatch under the lighting a hotel actually uses, after 1,840 m² is on the wall, costs two months.
Each casing is modelled from its own column's real dimensions. If fourteen columns are fourteen sizes, we make fourteen parts.
If skippedOne common casing is made, the crew packs the gap with sealant, and the seam that was designed to be a shadow line becomes a grey smear.
Approved against a physical sample under the lighting the room will have — not on a screen, not in our yard at noon.
If skippedChampagne gold looks correct in Foshan and green in a warm-lit lobby, on the same batch.
Coffers are laid out and joined on the floor before packing, so every corner is proved.
If skippedCorners that were cut separately arrive open by 4 mm, and the light in the reveal shows every one of them.
