DESIGN NAME: Liangdian Deshengmen
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office
INSPIRATION: The original intention of architectural renovation was to contrast with the surrounding massive constructions through light and transparent glass. When night falls, one can clearly see, from the slow-paced river walk and the fast-paced second ring road, a shiny crystal box endowed with new life when the lights are turned on.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This cultural and creative office building is located on the east side of Deshengmen (one of the nine gates in Beijing from the Ming and Qing Dynasties), on the central north second ring road, facing the city moat. Desheng means winning by virtue in Chinese. According to ancient legends about stars, the north has the virtue of a black tortoise, which takes charge of weapons. So fighting troops usually left the city from the north gate.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: As this is a office, its operation remains in the hand of the property management of the client.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The lighting design part of the project started in December 2018 in Beijing, China and the completion time in September 2019.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The lighting design emphasizes on atmosphere creation and conveys comfortable, quiet and soft feeling with warm lighting color temperature. As night falls, lights give new life to this renovated building. Through the glass curtain wall, the interior lights reveal the building structure and renew its vitality.
