La Cadiere Plot 1

A large-scale landscape project for a group of residential towers in Chengdu, China, the lighting played a key role in helping to define the use of spaces within the development. SCDA used flood lighting to highlight circulation, and tree up-lighting and architectural details to create a more intimate mood in the social spaces. The main challenge for this project was to scale down the lighting so that areas requiring more contrast at night still felt intimate and balanced within a large-scale landscape. The warmth of the lighting throughout the project helped make the spaces feel cozier, while cool white accents on water features added interest and contrast to the design.
