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.

The first city hotel for Aman Resorts was completed.<br />
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 />

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 />

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 />

A project encompassing two low-rise residences for a<br />

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.

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.

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.

water for a relaxing spa experience.

Even in this modern day, traditional houseboats reflect<br />

plucked from the past, now float and actually mesh well<br />
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!

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 />

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.

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.
