Light Sales Office

Light Sales Office is an innovative interior architectural project that exemplifies the sophisticated interplay between natural illumination and spatial design, conceived by architect Ying Zhang and realized through meticulous attention to light manipulation and spatial flow. This 1,200-square-meter commercial space demonstrates a masterful understanding of how light can be utilized as a fundamental design element to create varying atmospheric conditions throughout different functional areas. The design philosophy draws inspiration from the dynamic nature of light, comparing its presence to a performer on stage, alternating between serene and vibrant states to enhance the architectural narrative. The project incorporates premium materials including wood finishings, marble, and brushed stainless steel, strategically implemented to complement the lighting design. The entrance features a ceremonial facade with carefully considered enclosure elements, while the central core tube employs light curtains to direct visual focus toward the reception desk. The spatial arrangement encompasses multiple functional zones, including a sand table area with an impressive 8-meter ceiling height, negotiation spaces, and reception areas, all unified through thoughtful lighting transitions. The project, which garnered recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category in 2020, showcases innovative solutions in commercial interior design through its careful consideration of light's temporal qualities and their impact on spatial perception. The design successfully creates distinct emotional experiences in different areas while maintaining a cohesive architectural language throughout the space, demonstrating excellence in both aesthetic and functional aspects of interior design.
