Introduction

The aircraft-inspired building features feather-like wings reaching into the air and a crystalline space cavity for people to move around. To accentuate the wings' elegance, we use small profile spotlights that are carefully hidden on the curtain wall. With a dynamic lighting program, the light flows like water and clouds, while the wings undulate in the air.

 

The wings change hues at certain moments, giving the building a sense of mystery and enhancing its expressive qualities. Our design often uses a pristine and vivid blue that complements the building's personality.

 

The curved ceiling is rendered in a minimalistic style, using reflected light to create a subtle effect. We use the same technique to render the wings on the facade and the rib structure inside the cavity. The play of light and shadow accentuates the unified rhythm of the ribs.
