Amanemu is a villa type resort hotel opened in 2016, in a verdant national park overlooking Ago Bay. As we gained understanding the value of the natural environment around Ago Bay, we proposed the concept of "Reach to the Dialog with Moonlight", designed lighting in a subtle way. An important intention of the lighting design was rather to emphasize the changes of natural light of from morning to night, to create an environment where guests can enjoy the nighttime scenes that can only be experienced there. Landscape lighting was carefully studied in order to enhance, in particular, the view of beautiful night sky. We identified sizes and forms of each single tree and their arrangement in the landscape, before selecting the trees to illuminate at night. Muted lighting for the landscape created a peaceful and pleasant nigh-time environment for guests.
