Buying notes
Different evidence for different stages.
Our custom-lighting team’s Vanke UniCity project in Shanghai, China, explores a lighting sculpture for a commercial destination. This page distinguishes workshop photography from design renderings so the material preparation and architectural proposal can be understood separately. The project reference is linked for project context.

The project
A sculptural presence in a shared space.
Vanke UniCity combines commercial, residential and public spaces in Shanghai’s Hongqiao area. The outdoor lighting-sculpture design forms part of the commercial setting.
The project imagery follows the idea across design renderings, workshop preparation and installed lighting. Glowing and reflective spheres create a composition that is experienced from several viewpoints.
Design
Spherical forms bring light and reflection together in the architectural setting.
Development
Workshop photographs show the globe elements prepared together. The gallery distinguishes these photographs from the design renderings.
A closer look
Workshop photography and design renderings document different stages.
