Production Technology

The bookshelf lighting is a key element of this project as they appeal to visitors' eyes to find their favorite readings. Each of the three type of bookshelves has a different wattage per meter based on functionality: the standard bookshelves with standard linear light, the taller bookshelves facing the glass curtain wall that need more visibility using a higher wattage per meter lighting and finally bookshelves that need accent lighting with the highest wattage per meter.

Design Challenge

As this is a renovation project, the existing facade did not have a lighting scheme. Nevertheless, by night, the interior glow gets through the glass curtain making the building eye-catching.

Research
