About Beijing Pageone Wudaokou Bookstore
Beijing Pageone Wudaokou is a lighting design for a bookstore in the Haidian district of Beijing. The bookstore also holds exhibitions and lectures, so flexible lighting was selected to suit different uses. Bookshelf lighting is the main element, as it helps visitors find their preferred books. Three types of bookshelves receive different power levels per meter, and the highest level is used for accent lighting. LED linear lights and adjustable recessed downlights with a color temperature of 3000 kelvin and a color rendering index above 90 create a warm and soft reading atmosphere.

- 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.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2020 and finished in April 2021 in Beijing Haidian District.
- Operation Flow
- As it is a bookstore, its operation remains in the hand of the property management of the client.
- Research
- Lighting simulation were necessary to complete the detailed design of this project. Several rounds of mock-ups involving the shelves' manufacturer and the lighting manufacturer were necessary to select the optimal lighting effects.
- Inspiration
- The lighting design bases on the simple and clean interior design and the modern style of the building facade, takes advantage of the light colored materials to welcome guests in a relaxed atmosphere where they can, under a warm and soft lighting, immerse themselves into an ocean of words from their favorite readings, food and beverage.
