High Heel Church

High Heel Church is a lighting design for a shoe-shaped building in a seaside park in Chiayi, Taiwan. The structure is about 17 meters high and 11 meters wide. Nearly 300,000 small glass pieces and 101 light fixtures are applied to the steel frame. Sunlight makes the glass flash during the day, while the wind moves the small pieces naturally. At night, calculated light angles give the building the look of a galaxy and make the heavy structure appear lighter. A light show with music is presented every hour, controlled by a DMX Art-Net system.

Left Bank

Left Bank is a lighting design for a science and technology park on the Maozhou River in Shenzhen. The scheme combines functional lighting with landscape lighting. Anti-glare buried lamps on the ground floor illuminate the pillars and the ceiling, so the walkway receives soft reflected light. Linear lamps of 3000K are embedded in the handrails of the sky corridor bridge. These linear lamps light the walking surface and keep the night landscape continuous. Lighting scenes for weekdays, weekends and festivals balance visual effect and energy use.

Silhouettes

Silhouettes is a table lamp designed for additional lighting in homes and at the workplace. The lamp is 500 mm high and is formed by metal elements of the same shape in different scales, following the nesting principle of matryoshka dolls. These elements can be moved to change the appearance of the lamp. The elements can also be aligned in one plane, so the lamp packs flat and needs less packaging, material and transport space. A sphere of frosted glass at the center holds an LED board. The lamp is made of a metal frame, frosted glass and a fabric wire.

Canopy by Hilton

Canopy by Hilton Hangzhou Jinsha Lake is a hotel lighting design shaped by local culture. The lobby features a pendant inspired by the osmanthus, a local flower traditionally planted in front of homes to welcome guests, and heron light sculptures inspired by birds seen at the nearby Jinsha Lake. Hidden LED lights behind the front desk suggest the waves of the Qiantang River. Energy saving LED fixtures with a high color rendering index are used throughout. Public areas are lit at 3000K and guestrooms at 2700K. Hidden lights make the canopy bed frame appear detached from the wall and ceiling.
