Entry Description

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.Working closely with architects, we developed custom anti-glare lighting for horizontal ribbons that illuminates evenly while minimizing interior disruption. The lighting seamlessly integrates with curtain walls, complemented by a "breathing light" system that adds subtle nighttime dynamism, bringing the facade to life.
Sustainability Approach

Energy-saving and safety measures:High-efficiency energy-saving light sources, ballasts and lamps are widely adopted.The main light source for outdoor energy-saving lighting is LED lamps.During the design process of lighting schemes and lighting control systems,the"Building Lighting Energy-saving Standards"are strictly implemented to ensure the use of high-efficiency energy-saving products and control systems in the design.Flame-retardant cables are used, and the materials of lamps are lightweight, with high structural strength, high temperature resistance, and anti-aging properties. Lamps installed at high altitudes are equipped with anti-drop devices. The light sources of lamps are LED, which perform better than traditional gas discharge lamps in terms of safety, efficiency, and explosion-proof.The input voltage of lamps is DC24V to prevent electric shock injuries.
