Entry Description

Congo interior exemplifies the seamless integration of biophilic principles with advanced lighting technologies, creating a space where nature and architecture converge harmoniously. The lighting design employs concealed linear LED strips, calibrated to a warm 2700K color temperature with a CRI of 97. This high color rendering index ensures that the natural hues of the moss-covered ceiling and surrounding greenery are displayed with exceptional accuracy and vibrancy.

The indirect lighting, strategically placed beneath the seating, casts a soft, ambient glow that enhances the intimacy of the space while maintaining a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The 2700K LEDs, chosen for their warm, welcoming tone, create a relaxed environment ideal for dining and social interactions. The high CRI ensures that every element within the space is illuminated with true-to-life color fidelity, further emphasizing the natural textures and materials.

Complementing this, the custom table lamps, equipped with dimmable 2700K LEDs, provide localized task lighting, allowing for precise control over the ambiance. The layering of these lighting elements not only highlights the biophilic design but also elevates the overall sensory experience, making this space a tranquil urban oasis.
Sustainability Approach

This interior showcases biophilic design with a strong focus on sustainability. The lighting system features 2700K LEDs with a high CRI of 97, ensuring vibrant, true-to-life color rendering. A sophisticated dimming control system optimizes energy use by adjusting light levels based on time and occupancy, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining ambiance.

The use of high-quality LED fixtures, known for their long lifespan, minimizes material waste and reduces the need for frequent replacements, further lowering the project's environmental impact. This integration of advanced lighting technology and durable products creates a space that is not only visually stunning but also environmentally responsible.
