hotel lighting

Crafting an elegant, comfortable ambiance with tailored lighting for lobbies, rooms, and dining areas.

Successful case display

This project is located in Xiamen City and is a retail store lighting design case. The design aims to help people in urban life find poetry and surprise in their everyday routines.
The entire space primarily uses linear lights and spotlights. Linear lights can conceal light strips, making the space appear neat and clean. At the same time, under the illumination of spotlights, the space becomes exceptionally bright, and items have focal points, allowing for better visibility of the product details.
Stainless steel shelving, hanging rods, and fitting mirrors blend with cool light sources to create a sophisticated and cool atmosphere. Additionally, ceramic materials are used in the space, with the application of white and light terracotta colors enriching the layers of earth tones in the space.

As a place that shapes beauty, the spatial design and brand strategy of a nail salon continuously evolve with the changing aesthetics of users and the times. Through comprehensive planning and design of the brand image, the salon pays attention to the changes in the era’s environment, maintaining its existing customer base while also making bold changes to appeal to a younger consumer group. Creatively, the concept of “feathers,” symbolizing freedom and beauty, is brought to life as a delicate fusion of imagination and reality. This rebranding encompasses a refreshed visual identity, an engaging spatial experience, and a renewed sense of humanistic aesthetics.

“The expression of every art form today tends toward non-representation, abstraction, and inner structure.” The more abstract the art, the freer it is, and the more it can stir the soul; architecture is no different. Architects, through their intervention in the real world, establish new realities, new interfaces that allow us to encounter new ideas. The interest of space is an incredibly wondrous objective existence, indescribable and inexplicable, yet it can stimulate our desire for exploration.
Upon entering the lobby, one can sense a unique artistic atmosphere: the smooth linear lighting, the individual and playful ovoid shapes, the flowing, continuous, and unified ambiance of the ceiling, floor, and walls, all unrestricted, like the light of freedom, flowing over the earth, penetrating the glass, and conversing with nature, creating a sensation that is neither entirely internal nor external. The design of the second-floor office area continues the spatial order of the first floor. The gradually rhythmic curved glass not only serves the purpose of spatial division but also creates a visible fluidity, generating a vague architectural perception. Where two curves intersect, they connect to form a gothic pointed arch, naturally creating an interesting feature. “

The project is located on the ground floor of an existing 17-story office building, situated above the Bloor-Yonge subway station. The renovation of the public and retail areas of the building enhances its street presence and creates distinctive entrances for the office lobby and the subway. A feature ceiling undulates throughout the building, serving as a natural navigation system that connects three streets to the main lobby and the subway, while also concealing the beams that support the tower above. On the main building façade, black glass screens frame the new retail units and reveal the main entrance.
Dramatic, undulating, suspended architectural “ribs” span the corridors and lobbies, adding rhythm to movement and progression through this high-traffic transitional space. Lighting is integrated into the ribs and lower wainscoting, hidden between and behind these elements, providing bright, even illumination.
The existing building structure and deep floor plates prevented natural light from entering, limiting the integration of new lighting concepts. Hiding all linear LED lighting without visible light sources was an innovative challenge faced by the team, which successfully coordinated direct and indirect lighting across the surrounding wall surfaces. An energy-efficient LED lighting system was installed on the back of a Barrisol stretched ceiling with acoustic damping properties. All light sources used are directed towards the periphery, allowing light to reflect off vertical surfaces to achieve uniform lighting of the ribs while ensuring low glare.
The lighting control system adjusts light levels based on an astronomical clock, setting scenes in response to the time of day and seasonal changes. The use of linear LED strip fixtures throughout led to the choice of 0-10V dimming, which is connected to the building automation system for monitoring and control.
