About Beijing XLLD Creative Park Office and Retail
Beijing XLLD Creative Park is a lighting design for the public spaces of a renovated building in Beijing, China. The building was formerly a textile shopping mall, and the renovation created offices, small retail units, a theater, roof gardens and exhibition areas. The lighting creates the feeling of an office lounge with cultural events rather than a common office. Narrow beam 4000K LED wall washers light the white facade, while warm white LED lights mark the bronze curtain wall above the main entrance. Hidden 3000K LED strips guide the audience to the seating area of the theater.

- Production Technology
- As the building is Northsouth oriented with its main facade facing East, the street view lighting design emphasizes the contrast between the white facade lit with narrow beam 4000K LED wall washer lights that provide a contrast with the bronze curtain wall stretching vertically 5 stories lit up with warm white LED lights above the main entrance and horizontally on the first floor.
- Design Challenge
- The unique theater across from the lobby is narrow (3.4 meters) and tall (16 meters) with a glass roof that allows daylight to enter the space during the day and can be covered during a performance if necessary. In addition to the functional lights installed below the roof glass and the staircases below, the audience is guided to the seating area via hidden 3000K LED strip lights. The stage lightings are independently controlled
- Project Duration
- The lighting design part of the project started in May,
2020 in Beijing, China and the completion time in September 2021. - Operation Flow
- As this is a creative park, its operation remains in the hand of
the property management of the client. - Research
- The lighting design of the Beijing Xuelian Liangdian Dongsi Creative Park is based on extensive field trials, several different lights were bringed to construction site and picked by their real performance.
- Inspiration
- The lighting design intent for the interior public spaces of the Beijing Xuelian Liangdian Dongsi Creative Park is to bring out the feeling of an office lounge with cultural events and exhibitions rather than a common office space.
