Longfang Bridge Nightscape Lighting Design

Longfang Bridge

Longfang Bridge is a nightscape lighting design for a road and pedestrian bridge in Wenzhou, China. The crossing combines one main bridge with two pedestrian bridges, built from concrete-filled steel tubes painted red. The pedestrian bridges use warm 2200K light to contrast with the red structure, while the main bridge uses 4000K light for traffic. Wall washers and flood lights are hidden inside the structure. Three lighting modes serve weekdays, weekends and festivals. A control system switches lights off at midnight or when daylight is sufficient.

Marble Hexagon Tile Covering Material

Marble Hexagon Tile

Marble Hexagon Tile is a natural stone covering material produced in a hexagonal format. Traditionally, marble hexagon tiles are cut with waterjets, a slow and costly process. Ionic Stone developed a technique that cuts rectangular marble tiles into hexagonal shapes using traditional diamond disc cutting. The method holds high precision in dimensions and costs a fraction of waterjet cutting, so large volumes can be produced. Each hexagon side can measure from 15 to 30 centimetres. The aim was to make hexagonal marble tiles affordable.

Dalvey Haus Lighting Design

Dalvey Haus

Dalvey Haus is an architectural lighting design for a residence in Singapore. The lighting is arranged in three layers. A soft warm glow lights the canopy of the coconut trees.
