DESIGN NAME:
Dalvey Haus
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Lighting Design
INSPIRATION:
Lighting up a place is easy. There is a clear physical target. Lighting up a person after a long day is another level altogether. The lighting design we create seeks to touch the inner most of a person and light it up for them to see themselves. Our solution aims to allow one to regain yourself, feel the space reconnect with nature. The healing of the soul starts with lighting it up. We aspire to light up a real space by lighting the heart of a person first. That is achieved in Dalvey Haus.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The lighting concept seeks to create an emotional sense of peace within the residents, as they return home after a hectic day. The lighting aims to reflect the modern minimalist luxury architecture and build materials applied. The design anchors itself on the swimming pool and extends outwards to the environment. Using minimal lighting points, the space is artfully lit for just the right level of brightness, where one may appreciate the flowing water and trees in the calm evening breeze.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Each recommended light fitting and its installation steps are thought out and documented in a detailed method of statement. This provides clarity for the essentials at the start of construction and engineering planning that caters for ease of future maintenance. This includes a clear guide on electrical processes related to lighting installation, e.g the use of male female coupler for light fittings, the location of remote drivers to power up the outdoor lamps and more.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
Duration is approximately 4.5 years, and is located in Singapore, Dalvey Road and Stevens Road intersection.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Against the hectic lifestyle in Singapore, our lighting design creates the peace and tranquillity in a person as they enter the concierge. First lighting layer is a soft warm glow on the coconut trees canopy. Second layer is the warm glow reflected on the gently moving pool surface from the facade wall. Third layer is the lower lux level of the surrounding. The subtle illumination on the slow and soft movement of nature makes a person wants to immerse in it, appreciating the positive energy.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Knowing the construct of each specified lighting equipment is crucial to produce the most balanced lighting design engineering solution for each project. The regular lighting study and experiments conducted in house enable us to confidently use the method of adding external optics to a complete lighting equipment to enhance illumination coverage. It reduces overall power consumption, increases lifespan of the product, and does not compromise the lighting design intent.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
There are 2 main elements within the space that felt like an Oasis. One is the artificial sand coloured hard stone tile finishing. Two is the natural coconut trees and water. The lighting design aims to create a real sense of calm that is reflective of the evening sundown moment of an oasis or a seaside resort. Proposed artificial lighting takes a quiet backseat role during sunset and transit into the primary glow of warmth for the space at night. This follows the soft natural lighting cycle.
CHALLENGE:
One key innovation is the ability to determine methods that enable the light fitting to blend into the space. One example is prescribing the electroplating method of having exposed lamp housing coated in gold brass threaded finishing. It fits into the light brown sand blasted floor tiles, yet retaining its subtle presence for safety and subtle colour contrast to the space. Lighting design is about how everything comes together from lamp, performance and appreciating the architectural elements.

The ingenuity and thoughtfulness behind the "Dalvey Haus" project truly sets a benchmark in the realm of architectural lighting design. It is not merely about illumination but about creating an emotional sanctuary that speaks to the soul, a testament to the power of lighting in transforming both space and spirit. The unique approach of intertwining lighting with the natural elements of the environment, and the meticulous attention to detail in ensuring the light fittings complement the architectural essence, demonstrate a profound understanding of both the science and art of lighting design. The concept of using lighting to create a sense of peace and reconnection for the residents after a hectic day is both innovative and deeply moving. It is evident that the design goes beyond aesthetics, aiming to heal and uplift, making the space not just a visual spectacle but a haven of tranquility. The methodical layers of illumination, from the soft glow on the coconut trees to the reflective warmth on the pool surface, all contribute to a serene ambiance that encourages one to pause and immerse in the moment. This project is a brilliant reflection of how thoughtful design can enhance human experience, making it a deserving recipient of the A' Design Award. The talent and dedication of Stanley Tay Wee King in bringing this vision to life are truly commendable.

The recent winner of the A' Design Award in the category of Architectural Lighting has truly set a new benchmark in the realm of design with "Dalvey Haus". The philosophy that lighting should not only illuminate a space but also kindle the inner flame of those within it resonates deeply with my own beliefs about the power of design. The intention to not just brighten areas but to also bring a sense of self-discovery and connection to nature through light is a testament to the innovative and empathetic approach taken. It is a rare and profound achievement to see how a lighting design can transcend its primary function and become a catalyst for emotional and spiritual healing. This work is a beacon of inspiration, showing how thoughtful design can touch lives and elevate the everyday experience into something truly remarkable. The commitment to lighting the heart of a person first is a philosophy that I believe should guide more architectural lighting designs, making spaces not just seen, but deeply felt. The mastery in blending aesthetic beauty with psychological comfort in "Dalvey Haus" by the awarded designer is exemplary and deserving of high praise.
