the CATANIA

The gaps between the mountain rocks, like the interplay of light and shadow, are called "flowing clouds and running water", symbolizing the natural coexistence. This project takes "Light and Shadow Narration · Architectural Rebirth" as its core concept, breaking away from the traditional residential lighting paradigm. Through the design philosophy of "Hiding Light in Form", the light environment is regarded as the secondary interpretation of architectural language. The "Three-Dimensional Balance Principle" - architectural aesthetic presentation, human comfort, and environmental integration - is adopted to create a light and shadow narrative field with emotional warmth. The "humanistic lighting concept" is implemented throughout the design, using the 3000K-3500K color temperature spectrum to create visual memory points, and achieving seamless connection between day and night landscapes through precise light and shadow ratios.
The design team collaborated closely with the architectural master to creatively integrate the lighting system into the construction details: For the lighting at the position of the horizontal ribbons, to illuminate the horizontal ribbons while minimizing the impact on the interior as much as possible, the lamps adopted a unique anti-glare design, which evenly illuminated the horizontal ribbons while minimizing the impact on the interior to the greatest extent. This made the lighting perfectly blend with the curtain wall. The specially designed "breathing light effect system" enables the building to present a slight dynamic change at night, endowing the static building with a sense of life rhythm.
