Interior Design Knowledge Library & Material Guide

This page is a technical reference library for the materials we use within our interior architecture design services. Distilled from more than 15 years of hotel and residential project experience, these notes help you make the right material decisions.

A technical look spanning rift and crown cut anatomy, the art of book-match pairing and the world of Alpi engineered veneers. The right veneer choice directly defines the perceived quality of furniture, wall panels and door surfaces. The slip-matched units and crown-figured natural veneers in the Westin Hotels Nişantaşı project are field examples of these techniques.

In marble selection, vein direction, slip-resistance values and certification processes determine both the aesthetics and the safety of a project. We covered the use of Afyon marble from guest rooms to bathrooms in detail in the DTBH Afyon design process article.
