“Guests are entertained within the most flattering light, where they look and feel beautiful. Playing with light has become a very considered study and signature of our venues.” Lighting plays a crucial role within our narrative-designed interiors. Light holds the power to shape aesthetics and transform the atmosphere of a space, with the ability to influence and enhance people’s mood and behaviours. —> Read ‘Playing With Light’ to learn about how Pirajean Lees harnesses lighting techniques within interior and exterior spaces: https://lnkd.in/dpUf_EHr #lightingdesign #perception #lighting #narrativedesign #atmosphere #ambience #space #pirajeanlees

“Sashimono” is a Japanese technique for assembling wood using both simple and highly complex joints. Grooves called 'hozo' are carved into the wood in order to join two boards into a blind, invisible joint, meticulously crafted to fit seamlessly, without the need for nails or glue. In our research on every project we consider and craft every visible, and invisible detail. The joinery at Kioku by Endo at The OWO involved a deep study of the Sashimono, which we have used throughout every architectural detail—within panels, frames, skirting and furniture. Some joints you have to really look to discover and it’s this level of detail that defines this project. We even created a new bespoke joint, which is a take on an old Japanese joint. We called it ‘The Puzzle box’, it creates the footing of each door and portal.
