THE MIXC CHENG DU CENTRAL SQUARE

Chengdu, China
Artificial Lighting

Client: CR Land
Architect: Zaha Hadid Architects
Completion year: 2024

The MixC Cheng Du Central Square is a Mixed use commercial and retail development renovation. The new face received a revamp of facade and landscape areas featuring two generous central plazas with plenty of newly created spaces. Careful integration of slopes and water features provides plenty of space to explore for pedestrians. Lighting underlines the soft architecture bringing in a resort type of atmosphere to the terraces and facades. Lighting adds calmness and subtle sparkle in warm and calming light tones. Yet in contrast to the warmth, it activates the central plazas with a dynamic mapping of content to the floring. Bluish water ripples reference the water features adding a dynamic to the floor at night.

83 KING LAM STREET

Lai Chi Kok, Hong Kong
Artificial Lighting

Client: New World Development Company Limited
Architect: Collective
Completion year: 2024
Images: 1km Studio & Collective

The project features a large podium for new commercial office twin towers in Lai Chi Kok’s former industrial area along King Lam Street. The business lighting in this development highlights the transition from industrial to modern commercial spaces, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The site sits between King Lam Street on the south and the lush hillside of Lion’s Rock Country Park to the north. As one moves from the busy Lai Chi Kok’s subway exits and roads towards the site, the area transitions into a quieter and calmer cul-de-sac, where traffic is reduced and the green mountain backdrop starts to be visible.

The three-level podium comprises four main program components: commercial retail and F&B shops, two main office lobby entrances of the twin towers, a reconfigurable auditorium, and a large continuous green landscape which extends from the second floor down to the ground level. Carefully planned business lighting ensures these spaces are both inviting and practical, supporting the diverse activities hosted within the podium

HUANGGANG PORT SHENZHEN

Shenzhen, China
Artificial Lighting, Daylight Design

Client: –
Architect: Aedas
Completion year: ongoing
Images: Aedas

Inspired by the concept of ‘the cornerstone,’ the Huanggang Port is a symmetrical architectural form that sits on an elevated landscaped base, embodying the literal definition and heralding the new port’s potential as the foundation of the greater bay area. The infrastructure lighting design complements this concept by emphasizing functionality and aesthetics, creating a safe and efficient environment for users.

The port’s interior design is inspired by Shenzhen’s emblem flower, the Bougainvillea. The elegant and intricate curves and detailing from the flower are adapted to create a distinctive interior roof motif that bolsters the vibrant Shenzhen spirit. The lighting design focuses on a bright and welcoming environment while creating daylight autonomy. Artificial lighting blends into the daylight design and focuses on architectural integration into the aesthetics of the flower concept while visually enhancing it further, ensuring a seamless approach to infrastructure lighting design throughout the space.

GUANYANG ISLAND EVENT CENTER

Guanyang Island Chongqing, China
Artificial Lighting

Architect: JStudio
Completion year: 2023

The Event & Conference Centre is situated on the Guangyang Island, a land bridge island dominated by subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The main objective is to maintain a sustainable lighting concept to reduce light pollution to a minimum, providing visitors an unobstructed and pure environment and night sky.
The lighting concept features low glare light fixtures and glare controlled mounting details. Through the hierarchical design of the lighting, the visitors can feel the mutual radiance and tolerance of the building and the hills, as well as the “sequence of flowing water” form of the building. The lighting moved upward from a low level, leading the guest to raise their sights slowly, and continue to higher level as they stepped forward.
