In the office lobby, there's a 10 meter high mud plastered wall crafted by a skilled artisan. The lighting is focused solely on the wall. If it's too close, there are prominent shadows, and if it's too far, the texture is lost. Finding the right distance for lighting is crucial for its beautiful appearance.
The lobby is dedicated to illuminating only this wall, and no light is needed for the floor. That is because the vertical wall captures people's attention. Visitors are greeted by this dynamic wall and invited to the upper floor.

オフィスロビーには左官職人が作った土壁が鎮座している。壁の高さは10mで、上から下にかけて掻き落としの大きさと深さが変化していく。照明は壁だけに集中し、近すぎると凹凸の影が大きくなり、遠すぎると平になって凹凸が分からなくなる。一番良い距離で美しい壁のベストな表情を引き出すことができた。
ロビーではこの壁だけをストイックに照らすことに執着し、床を照らすような他の照明は必要ない。垂直に立つ壁が人の視野を占めるためだ。来訪者はこのダイナミックな壁に迎えられ、上階へ誘われる。
