As night falls, light becomes the "second language" of architecture. For the Qinghe Market Community Rental Housing Project, nighttime illumination is far more than a practical necessity—it is a medium that breathes warmth and vitality into the building, sketching out the concept of “home” and expressing the soul of the “community.”

By day, the building’s modern aesthetic shines through clean lines and material textures. After sunset, however, its architecture transforms: layered interplay of light and shadow softens rigid edges, revealing an artistic, rhythmically sculpted silhouette against the night sky.

On typical evenings, the building is bathed in warm white light. During holidays, the intelligent lighting system can be adjusted to display different themes. This use of light and shadow amplifies the sense of ceremony in community life, strengthening the residents' feelings of identity and belonging.

The façade’s front is illuminated chiefly with vertical linear lights, while the rear employs pinpoint lights as accents; the integration of lines, points, and planes—regulated in brightness and transition—highlights the building’s modernity and sense of depth. This cohesive approach ensures the clustered residences harmonize at night while preserving nuanced details.
