Along Hong Kong’s Avenue of Stars, soft white light ripples along the harbour wall and the promenade stays quiet, so the skyline across the water remains the show.

From the project

The long pedestrian route is lit discreetly from columns and the balustrade edge, and relative darkness continues the theme from Salisbury Garden next door1. Scenes are balanced through an automated lighting-management system1.
