How to optimize different building facades?

1. Lighting of the solid facade

Floodlighting a solid façade flattens the façade, which gradually decreases in brightness as the facade rises, with a low-contrast transition to a dark night sky. The use of flood lighting accentuates the surface texture of the facade material. And for those facades without texture, the light scattered on the façade forms a light  spot, which itself forms an important pattern of the façade

2. Lighting of vertical split façades

The narrow light projections of the vertical dividing façades enhance the façade effect of the façade divisions. To avoid shadows, the luminaires should be positioned correctly and the lighting direction should be parallel to the façade.

3. Lighting of the horizontal divider façade

When casting light onto horizontally divided facades, upward lighting close to the facade enhances the three-dimensionality of the facade. Long, heavy shadows on raised parts of the façade can be reduced by increasing the distance of the luminaires from the façade.

Usually,   LED linear lights are used on the horizontal partition structure of the facade to outline the building.

Using wide beam angle floodlights will reduce the contrast between elevation bumps, making the building "flat". ".

6. Transparent glass curtain wall facade lighting

In daylight, the transparent façade of the building is dark, reflecting its surroundings. The presence of interior lighting allows one to see the inside of the building. Glazing on the top of the interior enhances the presence of the roof, making the interior brighter at night, and the framing of the façade creates a silhouette effect. The horizontal structure of the building is enhanced when linear lighting is applied to the top surface of each floor.
