Entry Description

Using lighting to express the flow and tranquility of water,the stability and solidity of mountains,and the overlapping,misty intentions of Hangzhou oil-paper umbrellas.Strengthening the sense of mass of the glass box structure,enhancing the simplicity of the folded surface structure,forming unique aesthetic characteristics.The lighting at the chamfered corners adds a sense of uniqueness and focal points,enriching the layers.The choice of color temperature is primarily 3000K for a warm and comfortable atmosphere in the commercial environment; 4000K is used to accentuate the suspended glass boxes; and colored lighting is appropriately used at the main entrance to add a lively atmosphere.
The lighting design of the podiums embodies a rhythmic design approach through repeated layers of lighting, using static lighting to create a dynamic sense of rhythm. The secondary-reflected light is soft yet maintains the backbone of the lines, like the misty light shining through stacked oil-paper umbrellas. The entrance plaza uses guiding lighting design to increase visual depth, maintain transparency, highlight the true attraction of commerce, and guide foot traffic into the commercial interior.
The facade lighting of the tower is primarily functional, avoiding overly flashy media facade effects, highlighting the architectural aesthetic features with simple yet powerful lines.

Sustainability Approach

Energy-saving light sources: Efficient and low-power LED products are selected, and different light sources, distributions, and electrical appliances are reasonably selected for different functional zones to reduce the use of high-power floodlights.
Intelligent dimming system: By dividing lighting scenes through dimming systems, management efficiency is improved, energy consumption is reduced, equipment life is extended, operating costs are reduced, and labor intensity of management personnel is reduced.
Illuminance control: Establish detailed illuminance control standards and calculation processes, divide projects into different brightness and illuminance levels to meet usage standards, and achieve energy-saving purposes.
