Borough Yards is one of London’s newest mixed-use developments. Located in the London Borough of Southwark, it has been conceived as an “artisan retail hub” based around a series of restored and reconceived Victorian railway arches. The scope included lighting for all public realm areas, exterior building accent lighting and all interior lighting to the repurposed arcades. The lighting design has been developed to celebrate the London Victorian architectural heritage, whilst providing a vibrant and welcoming lighting atmosphere at night. Working in the context of the historic neighbourhood was one of the most important aspects of the design. The traditional building-mounted lantern type has been used - with a modern twist - to illuminate the exterior lanes, whilst contemporary catenary lanterns have been proposed over the main public open space. The sequence of arched gateways has been highlighted, externally and internally, with ground recessed uplights to create a dramatic rhythm, enhancing the texture and materiality of the architecture. The lighting to the interior arcades has been developed to be concealed and minimally integrated within the architecture. With this aim, we designed a series of spandrel integrated spotlights that, by uplighting, reveal the beauty of the existing brickwork, and provide circulation and accent lighting to the retail arcades.
Jingtiantai is the exclusive exhibition and tasting center of the constellation wine in Langjiu Manor, with a building area of 2300 square meters, located at the upper end of the cliff of Erlang Tianbao Peak. The architectural design skillfully integrates space, nature, and humanity. Jingtiantai is a great viewpoint of the Langjiu Manor, which overlooks the surrounding area and the Chishui River. Luminous fixtures are hidden below people's horizontal line of sight, reduce the negative impact on the observation of natural scenery, and form a unique architectural personality and experience that "reflects the sky and the earth, floats on the top of mountains, grows on the earth, and walks on the edge of stars and clouds". The plain concrete with natural texture and the delicate mirror surface of stainless steel are used indoors to form a great contrast of space feeling. Decorative pendant fixtures incorporate the twelve constellations culture into the design of the space. Constellation pendant fixtures on the ceiling correspond to the cultural symbol on the tabletop of the display desk. The lighting design highlights the constellation pendant fixtures that integrate the "constellation culture" into the interior lighting design. A unique constellation wine display and tasting area is created, which showcases the company's culture and promotes Langjiu spirit.
As the iconic building in town, Dongpo Pavilion was built along the undulating mountains. This ancient and typical Chinese pavilion is perfectly immersed in the natural landscape of Yangxian by hiding itself into the hills and forest. The facade lighting is dancing with the shape of the mountains and its own architectural features to achieve a more integrated design, which is also becoming part of the overall Yiyang Town lighting environment.As one of the most important features in ancient Chinese architecture, the Cornice is one of the highlights to present in this project. With the lighting design for the Cornices, not only the building itself becomes more dynamic, but also the crown seems to be lifted up into the night sky. Being in a very cozy lighting atmosphere, all the architectural details are perfectly presented.Regarding the lighting for the whole building complex, the interlace and balance of light and shadow are fully considered to create an atmosphere of harmony between the brightness and the night sky. In this harmony, the culture and natural of the historic buildings are resonated with the spirit of tourists, who will be spiritually connected with ancient people
This unique museum and performance hall is home to a non-profit organization that commissions original multi-disciplinary works of art. The fixed, eight-level building is comprised of exhibition, performance, and production spaces. Due to the complex nature of the art and infinite set-up scenarios, each space requires maximum flexibility of the lighting systems and controls. Gallery spaces employ continuous track-runs within the slatted architectural ceiling system, and track-head fixtures are customized with specific output, optics, and color-rendering LED chips to showcase a wide variety of mediums and colors. An iconic ETFE structure nests around the building with the ability to deploy out over an open plaza to form an additional, large-scale performance venue. Due to the high reflectivity and transparency of the ETFE material, the Shed is softly illuminated by a series of individual LED accentlights recessed at the apex of each structural member that graze up the steel from the interior to provide an indirect glow at each ETFE pillow. This lighting effect is visible even when black-out shades are deployed for performances and when the shed is nested around the building.
Shangyu museum is located in Shangyu City, Zhejiang Province. The architectural design style is simple and meaningful, and the shape is like two superimposed squares. After being twisted, it presents a special tension. In the history of Shangyu, there were many great scholars. The architectural designers designed many vertical columns like book pages from the perspective of cultural characteristics, and covered the outside of the glass, forming a regular and orderly rhythm. Starting from the cultural attribute of the building, lighting adopts two treatment methods. For the building, we use wash lighting to emphasize the massiness of the block and its turning relationship. For details, we use line type lamps to emphasize the detailed local structure. In some windows and entrances, we additionally use detailed lighting to show the interlaced relationship between heavy buildings and delicate details. In the selection of equipment, we not only care about the effect, but also adopt accurate light distribution and low-power and high-efficiency lamps to achieve the purpose of energy saving. After the completion of the project, it has become a very dazzling local cultural landmark. It reminds the local people to pay more attention to the history and culture of the city.
Madison Business Center is a reconstructed building in the center of the city of over one million inhabitants. The architectural concept is based on the combination of a historical facade part and a modern glass one. Having preserved the old brick facade, the building was enlarged with a laconic glass extension. With light, we have revealed the brick texture and the mirror-like ephemerality of the glass. All backlighting is made in a single warm color temperature. At the same time, we chose different lighting for different types of facades: a solid glass facade is drawn with thin light beams that emphasize the verticals, and a brick fragment is illuminated with lamps with wider optics, flooding entire wall elements with light. The brick is accentuated by warm glancing light. The light does not hide all the cracks and chips of the old facade; on the contrary, it emphasizes its historical authenticity. Contrastingly and gracefully, with the help of compact lamps with one-degree optics, the window imposts of the facade were emphasized with light, thereby revealing the glass. The light highlighted the beautiful shape of the circular arch of the entrance and accentuated it on the facade
Located in Xiahuayuan District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, the project belongs to the modern development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated city circle, 108km away from Beijing; 220km from Tianjin; It is 180km away from xiongan new area. Project features: the collection of Chinese style charm and spirit; The building itself is a Traditional Chinese block, integrating the operation mode of modern business. Opportunity of the project: With the help of the surrounding landscape and the fast public transportation system created by the opportunity of "Winter Olympics", the project has the special geographical advantage to become the last stop to Chongli, the holy land of winter ice and snow sports, and is positioned as a "business conference service center" integrating business, culture, conference, leisure, residence and many other functions. Understanding of design: After considering the positioning of the project, the large area of the roof is not illuminated; Instead, the roof lighting of some key buildings is adopted, and the partial structural lighting of gables is combined to strengthen the staggered order of architectural complexes and highlight the hierarchical relat
The unique and iconic Falkirk Wheel is the world’s only rotating boat lift. Our lighting design celebrates the structure, enhancing its presence within the landscape, extending the visitor experience beyond daylight hours, and supporting national light-up events. We took inspiration from the Engineering and Architecture, with colours, textures and content influenced by the palette which surrounds the canal. Each light, projector (and structural element) is controllable in isolation, creating a dynamic canvas for different colour combinations, effects or sequences. With digital lighting and controls we can vary the colour, intensity or direction of light -introducing shapes, patterns or textures, tailored to the architectural forms. We use a combination of static, dynamic and rotating overlays, controlled by an intuitive user interface. The Tunnel provides an immersive experience with dynamic and responsive lighting. The standard lighting mode is deliberately low and is activates a ripple of colour when a person approaches (by boat, foot or cycle).The result is a very flexible, dynamic and autonomous installation, which can also be tailored to suit specific events or occasions.
Mosque classical Islamic style is a perfect fusion of Arabic, Persian, Central Asian and Byzantine elements, harmoniously blending in this inspirational worship place.A seamless emotional integration of the mosque into the surrounding environment was to obtain through smooth, delicate pastel tones that could blend with the surrounding natural elements according to the different time of the day and of the year. Twelve basic color palettes were carefully selected so that believers visiting the mosque for the morning prayer would see the gentle shades of the dawn sky on its façades, while the evening illumination schemes had to reveal deeper crimson tones typical of sunset. The lighting scheme of the Mosque is based on a combination of spot and flood light techniques, which allow to highlight the main details of the mosque while emphasizing its general shape. Illumination levels, output uniformity and colour brightness have been set taking into account the need to identify the different architectural elements as well as the global readability of the building volumes. Now the true essence of the mosque shines not only during the day, but also in the dark.
From darkness into light: this former postal facility, shrouded since WWII, beckons travelers into spacious daylit volumes and where, at night, color comes out to play. Seven years’ effort on the designers’ part and extensive coordination with stakeholders result in a design that adapts seamlessly to the significant presence of natural light and transforms the great hall to nighttime vibrancy. Daylighting studies identified the potential for extreme contrast between the skylit halls and adjacent low-ceilinged spaces. Consequently a lighting control system was specified to automatically minimize luminance ratios. Linear lighting frames the skylights and continuously adapts to the intensity and color temperature of natural light, supporting circadian rhythms. During the day the station’s airy elegance is evident; at night the lighting artistry reveals itself. Systems of truss-mounted RGBW uplights work in concert with façade washing to articulate structure while maintaining visual transparency to the sky beyond. Subtle as daylight fades, bold colors celebrate the trusses and purlins. Scenes are orchestrated to mark holidays or local events: art and function in perfect balance.
Kepos/ kípos Ancient and Modern Greek word meaning ‘garden, oasis, sanctuary’ The complete redesign of the DAIOS cove spa was treated as complete re-imagining of what a spa can provide, the creation of a holistic experience following the footsteps of Goco spa doctrine. The low stone insert that runs the totality of the project together with the warm linear light that accompanies it, sets the tone of the whole project blending modern linear elements with the earthy stone. Extensive cove lighting is used to introduce an element of openness to the space bringing the feeling of a large cave, but in a more refined implementation. In the reception the white amphora – inspired elements dominate the area and are treated with an array of wallwashing lights that bring out their shape and texture. Decorative lighting elements are kept to a minimum to give space to a calmer space approach. With a striking exception being the glass sconces that signify the treatment rooms. The lighting scheme of the project focuses on the experience of the user, the architectural space and the path the user follows from the moment he/she enters the spa till reaching the treatment room. We wanted the user to feel welcoming but also part of a unique experience, a sui generis initiation process to the beneficial properties of a spa treatment and maybe those of lighting.
