February 2024
Downtown Gallery (OUE Downtown)

This is a high-end commercial complex located in the central part of Singapore. It was designed with the concept of "lanterns within the city." Normally, glass-clad commercial buildings can make it difficult to achieve a cohesive appearance due to the prominent lighting of individual tenants adjacent to the glass façade. However, in this project, a soft indirect lighting was incorporated into the spandrels (gaps between floors) of each level, illuminating the curtain wall's fritted glass, as well as casting gradients of light onto wave-shaped screens and wood-panel surfaces. This design approach ensures a unified sense of luxury throughout the building, regardless of the lighting used by individual tenants.

シンガポールの都心部にある複合施設。都市の中の行燈というコンセプトでデザインした。通常ガラス張りの商業施設は、そのガラス面に隣接している各々のテナントの照明が目立ち、ファサード全体としての見え方は統制が取りにくくなるが、このプロジェクトでは各階のスパンドレル(層間)に柔らかな間接照明を仕込む、カーテンウォールのフリットガラスを照らす、波板のスクリーンや木目のパネルの面をグラデーションに照らすことで、テナントの照明がどのようなものであっても全体に高級感のある統一感が保たれるようにした。

This project is undertaken during my tenure at Lighting Planners Associates.
