NewPearl SinteredSlab Solutions Empower the 8,600 m² Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home ArkOne OpenLab: Material Aesthetics Meets Intelligent Living

Architects, commercial specifiers and smart-space developers are facing an evolving challenge: how to select building materials that do not merely serve as decorative finishes, but can act as reliable physical carriers for next-generation interconnected smart-home systems. Many high-tech demonstration projects struggle to balance sophisticated digital intelligence with tangible material warmth.

Located in Shenzhen-a global hub for technological innovation-Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home Ark-One Open-Lab is China’s first large-scale immersive space-intelligence laboratory, covering 8,600 m² of demonstration area. It explores how digital technology can blend naturally into daily living scenarios, setting new benchmarks for future-oriented intelligent residential and commercial environments.

Sharing the same vision for integration of technology and material aesthetics, NewPearl joined the Ark-One construction as a core slab-material partner. Leveraging a diverse product portfolio, robust physical performance and high-end design compatibility, NewPearl sintered slabs bridge digital convenience and material texture, turning conceptual smart-space blueprints into tangible, experiential reality.

Client & Project Background

In Ark-One, “home” evolves beyond a simple physical dwelling into a responsive intelligent-living organism that perceives demands and links multi-scene functions. Instead of applying one single slab variant for the entire complex, NewPearl deployed custom sintered-slab selections for distinct functional zones: lobby, living-dining area, bedroom and smart tea chamber. Every slab acts as an invisible functional backbone supporting diverse smart-home scenarios.

Project Basic Information

• Project Name: Huawei HarmonyOS Smart Home Ark-One Open-Lab
• Location: Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
• Project Type: High-end commercial intelligent-experience laboratory - Completion Year: 2025
• Applied NewPearl Sintered-slab Models: Limestone Travertine-Beige, Finland Black, Australian Sandstone, Glacier Impression, Pandora, Obsidian Black
• Application Scope: Lobby, living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, smart tea chamber

Core Project Challenges

This benchmark smart-space laboratory raised multi-layer requirements for finishing materials:

• Multi-zone customised matching: Diverse zones (grand lobby, residential-simulated suites, featured tea chamber) required distinct texture, scale and finish to fit each scene’s design tone.
• Compatibility with embedded smart hardware: Slabs needed to accommodate deep-processing, cut-outs and embedded-module integration for built-in heating units, transmission mechanisms and concealed equipment.
• Balanced aesthetics & heavy-duty performance: As a high-traffic demonstration lab, materials had to deliver premium visual appeal alongside scratch-resistance, stain-resistance and moisture-proof properties for long-term public exhibition use.
• Full-chain delivery capacity: Strict lab-grade standards demanded coordinated support covering design consultation, custom sizing, deep-processing and on-site construction guidance.

NewPearl Customised Sintered-Slab Implementation by Zones

Grand Lobby: Setting the Spatial Tone

For the welcoming lobby, Limestone Travertine-Beige (1200 × 2700 mm) was adopted. Large-format slabs were segmented into varied rectangular units and laid in geometric arrangements. Subtle travertine veining flows naturally across segmented panels, eliminating monotonous full-wall visuals while establishing clean, minimalist tech-style order. It builds a refined, nature-infused backdrop for subsequent interactive smart-device experiences.

Villa-simulated Experience Zone: Material for Daily Intelligent Living

High-performance aesthetics become critical within living-and-dining zones simulating real-life residential use.

• In the living-room area, Finland Black sintered slabs form the full-height TV background-cabinet system. Their subtle deep-toned texture conceals assorted embedded hardware, delivering restrained tech-oriented visual lines.
• Suspended coffee-table structures feature Australian Sandstone paired with Glacier Impression. Granular natural texture from Australian Sandstone pairs with faint translucent veining of Glacier Impression, creating delicate visual contrast between nature and modern-tech aesthetics.
• For the dining-area tabletop, Black Marquina sintered slabs feature expressive ink-like marbling patterns. Outstanding scratch-proof and stain-resistant performance supports frequent demonstration usage while offering powerful visual aesthetics.

Bedroom Zone: Healing-oriented Premium Aesthetics

The bedroom functions as the lab’s “relaxation-focused zone”. Pandora large-format sintered slabs (1200 × 2700 mm) are installed with continuous-vein full-wall application. Fluid artistic veining stretches across wall surfaces with minimal joint interruption, lifting overall artistic sense and luxurious atmosphere. Under shifting smart-lighting systems, slab textures transform softly with light variation, injecting warm material sentiment into high-tech surroundings. Reliable moisture-proof and anti-stain properties simplify routine maintenance for continuous public exhibition.

Smart Tea Chamber: Invisible Technology Integrated with Material Craftsmanship

The highest state of smart-space design is making technology recede into background, activated only upon demand. This oriental design philosophy comes to life inside the smart tea chamber.

• The tea counter surface uses Australian Sandstone sintered slabs, retaining authentic granular stone texture; side panels adopt matte Obsidian Black slabs to construct quiet oriental ambience.
• NewPearl integrated built-in graphene heating modules beneath slab surfaces, delivering gentle, imperceptible warmth. Custom-fabricated “floating tea-delivery” mechanical structures are concealed under solid slab material. Technology serves human experience without breaking visual integrity of space.

Core Project Takeaways & Business Value

The Ark-One cooperation marks a key milestone in NewPearl’s strategic upgrade: evolving from a pure high-end slab-material supplier to a comprehensive high-end intelligent-living space-solution provider.

Delivering for laboratory-level stringent requirements, NewPearl demonstrated integrated engineering strengths covering premium product performance, complex deep-processing, smart-module embedding and end-to-end service from conceptual design through final on-site execution. This landmark project validates that sintered slabs can do far more than decorative cladding; they can function as dependable, aesthetically pleasing physical carriers for cutting-edge spatial-intelligence technology.

The real-world experience gained from Ark-One confirms that in future high-end smart construction, sintered slabs have advanced beyond single finishing materials into a systematic solution combining functional support, aesthetic expression and tech-integration capability. NewPearl will keep leveraging proven engineering competence to empower further innovations within intelligent built environments.
