The concept mirrors the penetration of the sun's rays in a forest. Installed on the upper floor, the illuminated ceiling recalls the sky. On the floors below, natural lighting is enhanced and used to create interplay with the focused and linear lighting.

The combination of general and accent lighting in the circulation areas creates an interesting dynamic in the lighting ambience.
