This Shanghai flagship translates INAX’s “Light & Water” philosophy into a calm, 280 m² walk-through home. The perimeter is carved into pocket-sized “experience niches” where wall-hung WCs, basins and shower systems sit against white-oak backboards, each edged with hidden LED coves that dramatise ceramic silhouettes. Central to the plan, a stone-paved engawa garden slices daylight deep into the floorplate; the shower pavilion opens to this courtyard, letting real breeze play across running water. Shoji-inspired screens—aluminium frames skinned in laminated rice-paper glass—divide zones while filtering glare, and their 900 mm lattice module governs everything from ceiling track lights to floor tile set-out, ensuring absolute alignment. Services run beneath a 150 mm raised platform finished in honed basalt, so displays can be re-plumbed overnight with no core drilling. Joinery is fabricated off-site as CLT boxes, craned in and connected with concealed “shadow” joints, compressing fit-out to 42 days and leaving surfaces pristine enough to showcase INAX’s dirt-repelling Aqua Ceramic glaze.
