Introduction

Linear light fixtures concealed within the building outline its shape and create graded lighting effects from far to near and from bottom to top. This uniform linear lighting emphasizes the transverse lines of the facade and gradually fades out the lighting from the first to the third floor, using the upward rhythm of the word "Zhi."

 

The architect uses a large area of natural wood color vertical sheet sequence to create a wavy curved surface as the top visual element of the interior space. The surface is supplemented by five grooves with a width of 40 cm to distinguish the boundary. For the facade of the grooves, warm-colored linear lights are selected and concealed to provide uniform lighting. The undulating bands of warm lights not only express the orderly but naturally undulating wooden vertical slices in an inverted mountain form at the top of the room.

 

The faux skylight pouring from the space slit of the landscape wall at the entrance is combined with accent lighting. This creates an elegant and mysterious aesthetic atmosphere and sets off people's quiet and rich artistic taste. The grazer highlights the texture of the wall. This lighting treatment not only echoes the overall elegant atmosphere of the entrance but also guides people to walk naturally and comfortably into the space.
