ARC Lighting in Architecture Magazine features the work of OVI at the Meixi Urban Helix project.  The project in Changsha, China is a unique lighting project with beautiful blends of natural and man-made elements.

Merging the natural elements of water with the urban development, the Meixi Urban Helix is a beautiful new structure, uniting the two worlds of nature and man-made constructions.

Located in the southwest of Changsha, China, this new urban axis, designed by German architects KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten, is a multi-functional public space where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Meixi, as well as the planned city expansion that it overlooks.

The structure ascends above a man-made plateau on the lake, spiralling to a height of 34 metres through an exposed ramp measuring six to eight metres wide. The interior of the helix provides visitors with a reversing path ramp leading from the structure’s highest point down to the new urban area.
