Shinonome Canal Court Central Zone is an urban style housing complex accomodating some 2,000 families. Six architects designed six buildings practicing their ambitious concepts through collaboration with experts of landscape, sign and lighting. The aim of lighting plans was to remodel the whole town's nighttime landscape by taking advantage of unique structures of the buildings. The region's traits of progressiveness is shown in some experiments. One example is a cube-shaped fixture that works as a bench for pedestrian and a sign to indicate the paths as well as an illuminating tool. Another is LED fixtures installed in the S-shaped walkway. Blue lights like a small canal remind people of the identity of the area.
