2011 IES Illumination Awards

Kanazawa Castle Park lighting design won 2011 IES Illumination Awards of Merit (project owner: Ishikawa Prefecture). For a long time, only the ruined stonewalls and the gate had been left behind after the fire which burnt down most part of the castle 130 years ago. The lighting for the restored main gate, the moat, and the stonewalls were completed and the extensive castle in old days reappeared.

Nouvelle Akabanedai lighting design won Section Award (project owner: Urban Renaissance Agency Central Tokyo Branch Office, design director: ADH Architects, landscape design supervisor:E-DESIGN Inc., lighting design supervisor: Reiko Chikada Lighting Design Inc.). We aimed to design energy-saving and elderly-friendly lighting for this housing complex that was designed to last for 200 years.
