The bulk of the ground floor areas are lit by means of metal halide downlighters , which provide the general lighting . There is also a large amount of natural light penetrating the mall at high level , which also filters through to the ground floor .
Using downlighters exclusively in an environment results in dark ceilings . To counteract this effect , a series of lighting slots were introduced in the flat ceiling areas . These slots mimic the floor tiling detail and create a sense of volume
by having light “ within ” the ceiling itself . In order to break the linear aspect within the mall , feature “ leaves ” were introduced within the flat ceiling areas . These “ leaves ” are raised sections within the ceiling , accentuated by means of LED cove lighting and a random installation of LED sparkles . This randomness not only brings playfulness into the mall , but also ensures that the “ leaves ” have their own identity within the lighting installation .
