Designed by Park + Associates, local building material supplier Hafary's new showroom will not have clearly defined physical boundaries, but will instead allow visitors to journey through a series of carefully curated zones
A homegrown brand specialising in tiles and other building materials, Hafary has always been devoted to elevating its client experience. This year, an upcoming expansion to its main showroom Hafary Gallery at Paya Lebar promises to do just that.
This large-scale project, which will boast up to 43,000sqft of space—the size of approximately three Olympic-sized swimming pools—will be filled with the latest innovations from the building materials industry, and promises to inspire all who come to visit.
“Design is for everyone,” says Jackson Tay, chief operating officer of Hafary.
“We believe that the concept and the material offering of what this new showroom brings can inspire designers, architects and home owners alike to see beyond the traditional function of tiles and stones as just surface coverings, but an element that plays an extremely important role in setting the look and feel of their everyday spaces.”
Starting out as a single shophouse selling ceramic tiles in Balestier in 1980, Hafary came from humble beginnings. But in the four decades that have passed since then, the tile specialist has grown steadily, and now boasts four showrooms islandwide, as well as an impressive catalogue of over 5,000 products, including tiles, stone and mosaic.
