DESIGNPHILOSOPHY

The architectural lighting design fully consider the positioning of the Longyou Folk House and the status of ancient street. While providing basic functional lighting, it uses the ingenious light and shadow to illuminate the quaint ancestral houses and create the tranquility of the Jiangnan countryside.

Starting from the surrounding light environment and people's travel experience, we determine the appropriate brightness and reduce light pollution. At the same time, we follow the characteristics of historical buildings and reflect the beauty of the architectural carrier texture and structure. Using ancient streets and alleys as a carrier and light as a tool, we enrich the overall sense of depth and layering of the scene; and then establish visual guidance to present historical culture.
