ALILA VILLAS ULUWATU<br />

INDONESIA 2009 PT BUKIT ULUWATU VILLAS / WOHA / CICADA<br />

This is a villa style resort in southern Bali based on the concept “Force of Nature” and five key elements,<br />

wind, moonlight, fire, water, and trees to create a comfortable resort-style lighting design. We used not<br />

only the natural warmth of incandescent lamps, but also specified fluorescent lamps and LEDs for a new<br />

age of resort lighting, integrating the use of candles and LEDs.

A commercial complex opened with much anticipation<br />

at a prime location along the most famous shopping<br />

street in Singapore. The powerful curved form of the<br />

glass façade is covered with LEDs, and at night the<br />

view from the inside is as impressive as the media<br />

art from local artists reflected across the façade.

Traditionally used as a sunshade or partition, the<br />

geometric patterned jali has been rearranged in a<br />

strikingly beautiful contemporary style. During the day,<br />

bright sunlight falls on the jali creating artistic shadows<br />

and at night its silhouette is visible through the warm<br />

glow of light radiating from the interior.

The location of the hotel just connected to the Airport<br />

Terminal made it unique. Architecture and lighting<br />

complement each other, giving a tropical introduction<br />

of Singapore to guests and patrons. Darkness is given<br />

importance to create a resort-like ambience and the<br />

textures of materials and patterns of surfaces are<br />

emphasized.

This project is the renovation of the lighting of a<br />

historic commercial building. The Orchard Road corner<br />

lot is a prime location for this fine landmark, a massive,<br />

but stately architectural structure with red eaves and<br />

Chinese inspired motifs. Our energy-efficient lighting<br />

plan specifies super - narrow high performance<br />

spotlights and LEDs for a quality design.

Facade lighting for a mixed usage building including retail & a hotel along Orchard road. Not competing with<br />

fancy colorful & moving facade lighting along this busy stretch, we aimed towards elegance, using not<br />

colorful light, but variations of white. Platinum white light boxes for the retail area & champagne gold for the<br />

hotel are randomly encrusted.

SINGAPORE 2008 TEAM DESIGN / NBBJ<br />

One of the tallest residential buildings in the Central Business District, this development comprises of two<br />

towers delicately poised to resemble sails. The lighting treatment attempts to frame this linearity, while not<br />

disturbing the privacy and views of the residents. At the tower tops, the linear light dissolves into stardust<br />

sparkle, a subtle celebration of the urban spirit.

In the center of Osaka and on the westside of<br />

Nakanoshima, Minami-Temma Park is a popular spot<br />

for cherry blossom viewing. A four season plan<br />

to enjoy trees and flowers was selected through a<br />

design competition. Near the waterfront, LEDs hidden<br />

in the hand railing, “Turner Light” create a relaxing<br />

atmosphere and a magical night waterscape.

with a golf course on the opposite shore. We wanted<br />

to create an environment where both reflections on the<br />

stream and lights from the golf course are visible from<br />

a large balcony. Also the lighting accents multiple<br />

pieces of artwork and the minimalist design of the<br />

residence.

Designed to offer “extraordinary hospitality,” a sequence<br />

floor and continuing to the second, of a new tower<br />

condominium near Kawasaki Station. Lighting changes<br />

according to different belts of time so residences can<br />

experience the transition of time throughout the day.

This tower condominium was recently completed in<br />

the fast-growing area of Toyosu. The small paths in<br />

the green landscape are blanketed with a pleasant<br />

rhythm of light and shadow and a cascade of light<br />

leads residents to a brightly up lit canopy. This indirect<br />

lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere around the<br />

entrance. Inside, the lighting is warm and welcoming<br />

for a comfortable, but classy touch.

This large condominium comprising of 11 buildings in<br />

West Coast is surrounded by lush greenery. Serving<br />

as the hub of the complex, the 7.5 meter thin, flat roof<br />

cantilever of the clubhouse is highlighted, seeming to<br />

float overhead. Also, light radiating from the inside out,<br />

expresses the vitality of such tropical vegetation as the<br />

Tenbusu tree, a gnarly work of art.

Wilkie Roads. After intensive study of the surrounding<br />

environment, we selected the unique ‘cut-outs’ of the<br />

architectural form into several parts for effective façade<br />

lighting. The lighting defines each cut-out crisply to make<br />

the concept of the architectural form even cleaner.<br />

This garden lighting project surrounds the widely popular wedding ceremony and reception facility. Using the beautiful<br />

contrast of lighting and shadow, we added a sense of depth to the thickly forested garden. The trees are silhouettes<br />

against the brightly lit walls of the chapel to create depth, but also a spiritual atmosphere. Light also highlights a<br />

waterfall and shimmers on the surface of a small murmuring brook, welcoming guests to the garden.

these materials, and the net reflected light is cast into<br />

the seating space of the amphitheater.

Our lighting design emphasis the contrasting features of the stone and flowing water. Also visible to guests<br />

going to and from the hot springs bath, illumination of the surrounding trees reflects on the surface of the<br />

water for a relaxing spa experience.

with the urban nightscape of Minato Mirai. The goal of<br />

this experiment was to create a romantic night scene<br />

along the waterfront, but the soft glow from translucent<br />

paper windows and reflections on the water actually<br />

created a new image of traditional Japan.

LPA 2009 Activities & <strong>2010</strong> Goals<br />

Busy year again!<br />

We had anticipated the slowdown of our workload in reflection to the downward movement of the world economy.<br />

To our surprise, we remained very busy despite facing some program changes and interruptions of ongoing<br />

projects and we are very fortunate to come across numerous interesting projects. We certainly look forward to<br />

more such projects in the year <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

Starting up internal design committees<br />

In order to strengthen our design skill and work efficiency, we have started four internal design committees on<br />

“design details” “new technology information” “LPA archive” and “presentation”. The goal is to standardize<br />

respective categories and to make full use of the company’s organizational power. We will continue developing<br />

the committee work this year.<br />

Completion of numerous projects<br />

Both our Tokyo and Singapore offices have been engaged by increasing numbers of overseas projects. Numerous<br />

projects in various locations were completed in the year 2009. In <strong>2010</strong>, we anticipate a number of project completions<br />

in Japan.<br />

“Eco” boom for lighting design<br />

The year 2009 can be described as an “Eco boom” in the lighting design industry. Mr. Mende was invited to give<br />

lectures in different cities under the theme on ecological lighting. Also, our Lighting Detectives forums and events<br />

were organized along keywords such as “low- carbon”, “green” or “environmentally friendly”. Besides creating<br />

comfortable and pleasant lighting effects and atmospheres, we all are well aware of these additional considerations<br />

and responsibilities in our profession.<br />

Recipient of international lighting design awards<br />

Three projects;” Swarovski Ginza” in Tokyo, “Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the restoration of Meiji Jingu<br />

AKARIUM”, in Tokyo and “ Alexandra Arch” in Singapore received prestigious international lighting design awards-<br />

Awards of Merit from The International Illumination Design Awards (IIDA) instituted by the Illuminating Engineering<br />

Society of North America (IESNA). Interestingly, each of the three projects have a very different nature and approachsleek<br />

shop lighting with the latest energy saving light sources, a shrine that brought out the beautiful darkness<br />

around it, and a civic structure with color changing light.<br />

Non-profit cultural activities “8th Transnational Lighting Detectives Forum” held in Beijing<br />

Since its inaugural forum in Tokyo in 2002, our annual transnational lighting detectives (Tanteidan) forum has been<br />

held in cities of Stockholm, Hamburg, New York, Singapore, Copenhagen and Belgrade. The 2009 forum was held<br />

in Beijing,- a city continuing to be transformed after the Olympics. Around 60 “detectives” went into the streets to<br />

search the lighting environment and made “Eco charts”. We enjoyed the interaction with local students and lighting<br />

enthusiasts. We will continue interacting with our associates around the world!

LED is the light source; the home is the instrument; and the occupants of the<br />

investigated the future of residential lighting, dissecting it as not just<br />

visionaries, but reflecting on current residential lighting and experimenting<br />

with new possibilities. Guest speaker, interior designer, Mr. Yukio Hashimoto<br />

presented his theory “that nature and light should have a natural presence<br />

and fill a home with functional lighting, adapted for the occupant’s needs.”<br />

Advocation for energy and natural resource conservation, has left the lighting<br />

profession very vulnerable. The conception of “Saving Energy = Green” has<br />

brought the industry to almost a stand still. Accordingly, this salon’s theme<br />

mixed the technical “Green” and the fun spirited “Enjoy” together for a discussion<br />

on ecological, but enjoyable residential lighting. Guest Speaker, architect,<br />

Mr. Kazuhiko Namba, shared his personal theory on ecological housing and<br />

discussed the role of architecture in conservation.

Once known as “Paris of the Orient,” traditional cityscape is<br />

preserved, drawing many tourists to Hoi An. In contrast, Ho Chi Min<br />

City is covered in construction sites, evident of a new economy.<br />

These two Vietnamese cities reveal different characteristics as we<br />

surveyed the lighting environment of each.<br />

Shimokitazawa: A calm lighting experience like a<br />

still lakebed<br />

Shimokitazawa is a neighborhood of small shopping streets and<br />

alleyways, projecting a strange, but comfortable atmosphere, as<br />

people crowd the backstreets until late in the night. However, plans<br />

to replace this quaint neighborhood with arterial roads and high-rises<br />

are underway. The detectives took what maybe a last chance to<br />

survey this area before it is “defaced.”<br />

China: Post-Olympic bustle and bursting national pride.<br />

From the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 60th Anniversary as a nation,<br />

China is a very vibrant place. For these big national events the<br />

Beijing transportation network, including roads and subways, was<br />

upgraded, altering the image of streets crowded with masses of<br />

bicycles. To survey this rapidly changing cityscape, the Lighting<br />

Detectives selected two cities, the capital, Beijing, and special<br />

economic zone, Tianjin.

Starting in 2005, the 2009 summer solstice marked the<br />

6th Omotesando Candle Night event. The theme, “Green,”<br />

is a simple and friendly idea showing affection for the<br />

earth and all natural environments. Last year the ban on<br />

LED`s was lifted, leaving the designers with more design<br />

options. A staff of 482 areaTokyo art students used<br />

candles and LED`s side-by-side in colorful displays along<br />

the zelkova tree-lined street. In cooperation with the<br />

annual event, many boutiques along Omotesando also<br />

participated, giving it a very local feel.<br />

Tokyo City Keiba: Twinkle Race<br />

TV commercials featuring famous teenage heartthrobs are dissolving<br />

the tough-boy image of horseracing, making it more accessible to<br />

the public. For a change of pace, the Lighting Detectives gathered at<br />

Tokyo City Keiba for the “Twinkle Race.” Galloping full speed around<br />

the track or walking gracefully in the paddock, lights blazed down on<br />

the thoroughbreds during race operation hours.
