A Lighting Experience That Sharpens the Senses

ModuleX® was selected for the project to relocate the Kyoto Branch of SENSE TRUST Co., Ltd., a leading company shaping the future of the real estate industry.

The core concept behind the design of the office is “Feel The Sense.”
The unique space here, designed to sharpen the senses, embodies SENSE TRUST Co., Ltd.’s mission to “bring a one and only, moving experience to society.”

In designing the environment, we were asked to develop a plan that would both accentuate the interior and create a sense of the passage of time by linking the space with the outdoor scenery.
The path of foot traffic extending deep into the office area from the entrance makes the most of a distinctly Kyoto-style layout, with materials that express the unique character of the locale incorporated throughout.
We viewed this route not simply as the direction of foot traffic, but as the starting point of the visitor experience.
Our original Lighting Modulation in Viewing Angle Range® lighting design method, which delivers precisely targeted light where needed, together with lighting fixtures that are glare-controlled using advanced optical control technology, more attractively showcases the delicate textures of the materials.
In addition, using Time Sequence Design®, we developed a lighting plan that not only varies illuminance according to the time of day but also adjusts the light’s center of gravity and its spectral balance to seamlessly integrate the natural light streaming in from Shijo Street with the artificial light inside.

A special arrangement was required for the “hidden room,” a unique space found nowhere else in the office.
The room was designed to also serve as a setting for business negotiations. It blends lighting with video content that incorporates motifs embodying the desire to forge meaningful connections, offering a visual representation of the bonds of trust with clients.

In normal settings, the color scheme is centered on blue, the brand color, while layers of light inspired by indigo dyeing evoke the unique Kyoto aesthetic, allowing visitors to experience the philosophy of SENSE TRUST Co., Ltd. through all five of their senses.
