The 2016 IES Illumination Award of Merit

Reiko Chikada Lighting Design Inc. received the 2016 IES Illumination Award of Merit for "Toin Kaikan (Architect: Architect 5)" and "Jyozaiji Temple (Architect:Suiundo, Kentaro Ataka Architectural Design, and Iwaki)". Toin Hall is an alumni association hall built to celebrate its 120-year anniversary.The construction costs were mostly covered by graduates’ donation; the budget was very tight and the running costs had to be minimum. And in our lighting design for Jyozaiji Temple, we emphasized its presence at night for increasing Buddhist memorial services starting from the evening. At night, the illuminated pagoda erases the gloomy image of the community road that cuts through the cemetery and creates a pleasant atmosphere for the surrounding residences.
