Abstract
The architectural and interior design concept of St. Regis Osaka comes from the beauty blossomed during the Azuchi-Momoyama Period just before the Edo Period in Japan. The Zen form of thought, "Wabi Sabi" or the serene sense of Japanese beauty, is combined with a little glamour to complete the design concept. Fittingly, the lighting design is based on the following keywords, "serenity + shadows + hospitality." While the amount of light is moderate, each space is softly enclosed and lighting arranged to create comfortable light and shadows. A dimming system also monitors daily changes in sunlight and adjusts accordingly for a very eco-friendly plan.
