- The unique theater across from the lobby is narrow (3.4 meters) and tall (16 meters) with a glass roof that allows daylight to enter the space during the day and can be covered during a performance if necessary. In addition to the functional lights installed below the roof glass and the staircases below, the audience is guided to the seating area via hidden 3000K LED strip lights. The stage lightings are independently controlled
- Realization and Technology
- As the building is Northsouth oriented with its main facade facing East, the street view lighting design emphasizes the contrast between the white facade lit with narrow beam 4000K LED wall washer lights that provide a contrast with the bronze curtain wall stretching vertically 5 stories lit up with warm white LED lights above the main entrance and horizontally on the first floor.
- Operation and Interaction
- As this is a creative park, its operation remains in the hand of the property management of the client.
