Floating Brass Pendant Lights for a Raised-Floor Hobby Space
Lighting for Reading and Listening to Records in an Open-Ceiling Space | na___no_ie Residence
CTSH LIGHT.'s brass pendant lights were selected for the raised-floor reading and record-listening area.
This favorite space features an open ceiling and is filled with natural light from large windows.
Multiple brass pendant lights add a soft rhythm to the shelves of books, records, plants, and art posters.
This project showcases how the lighting beautifully complements a space designed for enjoying the things you love at na___no_ie Residence.
A Special Retreat Created by the Raised Floor
Simply by slightly raising the floor, the impression of a space can be transformed.
It is a secluded corner of the living room.
A place where you can enjoy time alone while staying connected with your family.
A place where you can sit on the floor to read, listen to music, or gaze out at the scenery.
In this project, the raised floor has been designed as a favorite space for reading and listening to records.
Books lined up along the wall.
A record player.
Green plants.
Art posters.
And brass pendant lights quietly glowing from above.
The addition of lighting gives the raised-floor space a more special, inviting feel.
A Rhythmic Multi-Light Arrangement That Makes the Most of the Open Ceiling
In an open-ceiling space, the height at which the lights are placed is very important.
In this project, multiple pendant lights are suspended at varying lengths, creating a vertical rhythm that makes the most of the open ceiling.
Black cords extending straight down from the ceiling.
Floating brass fixtures at the end.
Small lights placed at different heights.
Although each light is small, combining several creates a striking presence throughout the space.
Rather than hanging one large light, several small lights are scattered throughout the space.
This lightness blends perfectly with the area for reading and listening to music.
Warm Light That Complements the Bookshelves and Records
In a space for reading and listening to records, atmosphere is just as important as brightness.
Light that is too bright can make it difficult to relax.
On the other hand, if it is too dim, reading may become inconvenient.
Rather than illuminating the entire space evenly, these brass pendant lights create warm points of light within the open ceiling.
A light floating in front of the bookshelf.
A small glow near the record player.
A light for the evening that blends with the natural light from the windows.
The lighting gently sets the mood for reading and listening to music.
Large Windows and Light Reaching Toward the Sky
The large windows in the open ceiling make a striking impression in the photographs.
This open space offers a view of the sky and is filled with natural light during the day.
Around the windows, brass pendant lights float quietly.
During the day, even when the lights are off, the black cords and brass fixtures add accent to the space.
The metallic texture of the brass is subtly revealed by the light from the windows, beautifully highlighting the height of the open ceiling.
At night, the warm glow of the bulbs illuminates the window area.
Large windows and small lights.
A sense of openness and tranquility.
Together, they create a pleasant sense of depth in the open-ceiling space.
Clean Lines Created by Brass and Black Cords
In this space, the combination of brass fixtures and black cords creates fine lines within the open ceiling.
Against white walls and large windows, the black cords add definition to the space.
The brass fixtures, on the other hand, add a warm metallic texture.
Black lines.
Small brass highlights.
The warmth of the wooden bookshelf and floor.
Green plants.
A space with a personal touch, filled with records and books.
Each element comes together, allowing the lighting to blend naturally without interfering with the things you use and enjoy in your daily life.
Because the pendant lights are simple, they create a background that highlights the things you love, such as books, records, and plants.
Varying Heights Create Movement in the Space
When using multiple pendant lights, you can arrange them all at the same height.
However, varying the heights, as in this project, creates a natural sense of movement in the space.
Lights at a high position.
Lights at a slightly lower position.
Lights overlapping the windows.
Lights floating above the bookshelf and record area.
As the eye moves up and down, the height of the open ceiling becomes more apparent.
In a place where you spend a lot of time sitting, such as on the raised floor, the arrangement of the lighting when you look up is also important.
When viewed from a seated position, the lights float softly above the space.
This view makes reading and listening to music even more enjoyable.
Lighting That Creates a Lingering Atmosphere in a Hobby Space
A place for reading and listening to records is not only practical but also a space for changing your mood.
Choosing a book.
Placing a record.
Lowering the needle.
Looking at the plants.
Gazing at the sky outside the window.
For these moments, a light with a gentle, lingering atmosphere is more suitable than lighting that is too bright.
Rather than illuminating the space intensely, these pendant lights create a calm atmosphere by floating several small points of light.
Adding understated, refined lighting to a space surrounded by your favorite things.
The charm of this project lies in how the lighting does not overpower the space, yet clearly enhances its overall impression.
The Changing Character of the Raised Floor by Day and Night
During the day, natural light from the large windows fills the space with brightness.
At this time, the pendant lights appear less like sources of light and more like small metallic accents floating in the open ceiling.
Thin black cords extend down from the ceiling, while brass fixtures are quietly arranged by the windows.
Their presence creates a rhythm within the raised-floor space.
At night, the glow of each bulb appears, changing the atmosphere of the space.
The area with the bookshelf becomes an even more tranquil reading space.
Time spent listening to records becomes a little more special.
The lights floating by the windows softly envelop the open space.
By day, they serve as lighting that highlights materials and lines.
By night, they provide a warm glow for your personal time.
The way the lighting takes on a different character depending on the time of day is one of the joys of lighting an open-ceiling space.
Lighting Considerations for a Raised-Floor Space with an Open Ceiling
In a raised-floor space with an open ceiling, the impression of the space changes depending on where the lighting is placed.
Lighting to brighten the entire room.
Task lighting for reading and working.
Lighting that beautifully highlights the height of the space.
Atmospheric lighting for enjoying your personal time.
Considering these separately will help create a more comfortable lighting plan.
When hanging multiple pendant lights, as in this project, the number of lights and the balance of their heights are important.
Adjust the length of the cords to suit the height of the open ceiling.
Consider their placement in relation to the windows, bookshelf, and furniture.
Think not only about how the lighting looks when it is on, but also how it appears during the day when it is off.
By doing so, the lighting becomes more than just a source of light; it blends beautifully as part of the space.

Large windows.
The height of the open ceiling.
Books lined up on the bookshelf.
A record player.
Green plants.
Art posters.
And brass lights floating in the space.
Each element comes together to create a comfortable retreat for enjoying personal time.
