About The Entry

"The lighting design of the sky lounge in Lucheng Square, Wenzhou, adheres to the concept of ""emotional resonance between light and space"", perfectly integrating Wenzhou's traditional Ou-Yue culture with contemporary lighting art. It creates a poetic effect, striving to build an immersive environment where light not only serves as a practical tool but also becomes a powerful medium, thus seamlessly integrating architectural form, material texture, and human emotions.

The core of the design lies in harmoniously integrating functional lighting and decorative lighting in the space through the ratio of brightness. We set the overall brightness contrast in the space at 1:5 to 1:8, and use warm 3000K light sources to enhance the material texture and the warm atmosphere of the space. The lamps are installed in a concealed manner without affecting the light output, making the light in the space appear soft and natural, while avoiding glare that affects people. The distinctive-shaped lamps, such as the welcoming hall, private booths, chandeliers in the walkway, and gold foil used to add rhythm and visual focus, enhance the sense of rhythm and visual appeal.

When the moonlight passes over the shining chandeliers, when the light and shadow write poems on the walls, what we see is not just the night lighting effect of a space, but also the city's yearning and pursuit of a beautiful life.

We precisely control the distribution of light to shape each space and highlight carefully designed details such as lacquer art works and Ou embroidery. At the same time, we consider sustainable development strategies. We chose high-efficiency LED lights, adaptive control systems, and more durable lamps to minimize energy consumption and environmental impact. The color rendering index (Ra) of the lamps is all above 95, to maximize the restoration of the original colors of interior decoration materials and tableware. The table lighting increases functional lamps on the decorative lamps to ensure the desk illumination does not fall below 400 lx. We adjust the different brightness ratios through a wireless mobile control system, allowing the space to gracefully switch between business, social, and leisure modes."
