Hui Xin Retreat
Huzhou, China, 2018
Application: Hotel
Product: STRIP, DOWNLIGHT
Model: FLEX STRIP, ARCHI DOWNLIGHT 60
Located within the bamboo forests of Huzhou, the Hui Xin Retreats project embodies a quiet expression of eco-luxury — where architecture dissolves into landscape. LUCITAG developed a holistic lighting strategy that supports this dialogue between built form and natural environment, enhancing spatial calm without disturbing the rhythm of the forest.
Architectural Precision in Calm Environments
Across guest rooms and public areas, 3,123 units of the ARCHI DOWNLIGHT 60 define a discreet yet highly controlled lighting foundation. The compact 60mm profile disappears into the ceiling plane, preserving the purity of the architecture. Deep-regressed optics ensure precise, glare-free illumination, allowing timber surfaces and natural stone textures to emerge with clarity and softness rather than contrast.

Light Following Form
To express the resort’s flowing architectural language, 3,642 meters of Strip Flex Strip were integrated into structural edges, coves, and balcony contours.The continuous linear light traces the geometry of the retreat, reinforcing its layered spatial composition. Concealed within architectural folds, the indirect glow recalls filtered sunlight passing through bamboo canopies — subtle, diffused, and atmospheric.At night, this secondary lighting gently outlines the resort’s silhouette against the surrounding landscape, offering orientation without visual disruption.

A Quiet Dialogue Between Light and Landscape
Together, the ARCHI DOWNLIGHT 60 and flexible linear systems create a restrained and coherent luminous environment. The result is a retreat where lighting does not define the architecture, but instead supports its relationship with nature — shaping an atmosphere of calm precision and sensory balance.
