Audrey House is a prominent office building on Ely Place in an attractive, historic, gated cul-de-sac near Hatton Garden in London. The identity of the building is based on its own heritage design language as well its neighbourhood.

The façade lighting strategy creates a subtle and sophisticated solution respecting the detailed historical façade. The overall composition enhances the decorative elements, friezes, cornices, pilasters and allows a distinguished night view.

The size and location of the luminaires was carefully selected to minimise the visual impact during daytime. A central London typical lower GF lightwell was used to conceal luminaires for the ground floor lighting while controlling potential glare for tenants. With less than one kilowatt installed power, this is a low energy and low budget façade installation that transforms the ornate period façade at night. The design of the installation considers the indoor of the building and does not impact on the office spaces within.

Site photographs and onsite mock-ups were crucial for the successful design development of the project. The result being a prominent transformation of this historic building at night.

NEUE WACHE

Berlin, Germany
Artificial Lighting

Architect: Karl Friedrich Schinkel
Completion year: 2017

The Neue Wache (English: New Guardhouse) is a listed building on Unter den Linden boulevard in the historic centre of Berlin. Erected between 1816 and 1818 according to plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel as a guardhouse for the Royal Palace and a memorial to the Liberation Wars, it is considered as a major work of Prussian Neoclassical architecture.

After German reunification, the Neue Wache was again rededicated in 1993, as the „Central Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for the Victims of War and Dictatorship.“ At the personal suggestion of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the GDR memorial piece was removed and replaced by an enlarged version of Käthe Kollwitz‘s sculpture Mother with her Dead Son.

The T-Galleria is an all-new concept combining the whisky and watches merchandising into a contemporary and relaxing lounge/library environment. The store is situated at level one in the luxurious retail landmark at the City of Dreams, Macau.

Two main lighting characteristics were necessary to attain; atmospheric lighting throughout accentuates particular features and enhances the interior space with decorative lighting pendants. The other lighting aspect was the functional general lighting which includes the wall display lighting. The lighting concept underwent a rigorous detailing exercise to ensure the best installation possibilities within the given time – six months from concept to construction – keeping in mind budget and design detail. All lighting elements were discussed thoroughly to avoid later complications between the different disciplines.

The lighting design for T4 Changi Airport in Singapore was a unique opportunity. It allowed the integration of natural and artificial lighting from the initial concept to the project’s completion. The design prioritizes visual comfort and wayfinding. It also creates a sense of place that reflects Singapore’s local context. Inspired by the petal motif, the passenger journey through T4 offers pleasant surprises. This encourages travelers to slow down and appreciate the space rather than rushing through it.

The central galleria showcases these elements with its interior landscape, sky views, and abundant natural light. As night falls, subtle plays of light and color continue to enhance the space. This provides a seamless transition from day to night. Overall, its innovative airport lighting design highlights the significance of well-executed lighting in modern architecture.
