The Stay Cool Pavilion. Design Week Drama

What the client needed

Nikken Sekkei sought to showcase their BIOSKIN facade technology, incorporating local terracotta brick into the structure. The objective was to emphasize the unique local material and cast playful shadows. Additionally, the client desired ambient lighting in the interior to effectively narrate the story of BIOSKIN technology and create a visually engaging experience.

Our solution

In response to Nikken Sekkei’s requirements, our lighting design for the Stay Cool Pavilion focused on accentuating the terracotta brick texture from both inside and out, evoking the charm of Thai lanterns. Internally, we implemented a feature lightbox that effectively communicated the narrative of BIOSKIN technology. The result elicited an emotional response, successfully showcasing the innovative design elements of the Stay Cool Pavilion during Bangkok Design Week 2021.
