Abstract
NIIGATA MONOLITH is a comprehensive bridal facility newly built in Niigata prefecture. The ceiling of the banquet room has an inclination of CH:5,700mm to CH:7,300mm, and approximately one thousand transparent acrylic tubes are laid on the ceiling. The challenge was to reduce the running costs including maintenance fees while keeping the ceiling high. HIMEJI MONOLITH is a comprehensive bridal facility built based on an about 80 year-old house by renovating the interior as a guest house. The minimum LED spotlights are used to illuminate the exterior of the building, which received a designation of the Important Building for Landscape of Himeji-shi, Hyogo prefecture.
