French style buildings are always full of details of lighting performance, but this is also the real difficulty. Which one can best present the elegant characteristics of the building?
The first is to determine the color of the light. This is a clubhouse building. It doesn’t need the massiness and magnificence of the palace building, nor the low-key and solemn memorial building. At the same time, the surface of the building is a combination of beige stone and paint, both of which have the best diffuse surface. Based on this, we choose to use 3000 K warm white light color is very suitable.
Then select the part of the lighting. In this building, the typical three section feature of French architecture is retained. The main entrance is specially emphasized, and the facade treatment towards both sides is gradually weakened. We think that if we use the light to distinguish the three-stage characteristics of the building, it will make the building look rigid. Therefore, we simplify it into two levels, the top sloping roof is illuminated by linear lights but controlled by brightness, so that the overall outline of the building can be presented without over highlighting. The facade part focuses on the primary and secondary relationship of its expansion surface. The main entrance is the first level, the facade with balcony on both sides is the second level, and the other facades are the third level, so that the building as a whole looks more complete and richer.
In order to remove the stereotyped image brought by the wall column as the main lighting object in most classical architectural lighting processing, we have increased the upper lighting for the corner at the main entrance and the facade with balcony on both sides, and the effect of the incident light near 30-45 degrees is relatively relaxed, which can also moderately increase the elegant temperament of the building.
The overall lighting treatment is expected to show the relaxation and elegance under the external image of the building, rather than just a cold building whose structural features are emphasized by lighting.
