While a facade design is just the frontage of a building, it also reflects the personality of the design and the users. The aesthetic is very important but we must be able to admire the design by day and night. Bringing focus to a facade in this way can only be done with lighting.
Types of Façade
A façade is the element of a building design that contributes to the character and appearance of the building. Suitability of installation and maintenance should also be considered.
Facades are classified as the following:
- Double-Skin Façade
Double Skin façade is a generic term for transparent, translucent, or opaque construction, which typically use decoupled layers of construction elements or material. This helps to filter the heat from sunlight that comes into the building, reducing the temperature inside and increasing resident’s privacy.
- Building Form Façade
The building form façade is both part of the building wall and façade. Windows, canopies or balconies are designed to relate to the structure but also enhance the design in an artistic way with light and shadow effects appearing also as a consequence.
Using outdoor lighting to decorate the Façade
When creating a remarkable façade, we must first consider the main design of the façade structure. The installation of outdoor lighting must appropriate and aesthetically pleasing for both day and night time.
Flood lighting and wall lighting are popular for façade illumination because these two product types are available in various shapes, sizes, and styles that can be applied into any façade design.
