A Cinematic Runway in the Garage: Turning a Movie-Loving CEO's Vision into Reality

What if you could experience a scene straight out of a movie in real life? What if a successful CEO’s dream of cinematic brilliance came alive? This is the story of a garage designed to mimic an airplane runway, brought to life by the collaboration between a visionary CEO and the bespoke lighting company, Lumispace.

The CEO, known for his love of cinema, always dreamed of recreating the futuristic car scenes from his favorite movies. With the decision to construct a landmark building in the heart of Seoul, he finally had the chance to turn this vision into reality. The highlight of his project? A garage where dynamic floor lighting guides vehicles like a runway, illuminating the path sequentially as they approach.

The CEO's idea was clear from the beginning: a parking space that wasn’t just functional but an experience. The garage should provide a cinematic welcome as vehicles entered, with runway-inspired floor lighting that activates and follows the car in motion. His vision transcended typical garage designs, aiming to incorporate innovation, luxury, and artistic flair.

However, the construction company faced significant hurdles:

1. Real-time Sensor Integration: The lighting had to respond dynamically to a vehicle's approach and movement.
2. Durability and Design: Floor lights had to withstand the weight of vehicles and environmental factors like dust, rain, and temperature changes.
3. Custom Engineering Needs: No existing solutions on the market could meet these technical and artistic demands.

Realizing the complexity of the project, the construction firm suggested involving a specialist. Enter Lumispace, a renowned company known for bespoke lighting solutions.

From their first meeting, the CEO's passion for movies was infectious. He described, in vivid detail, his vision of a garage that felt like a futuristic runway. "I don’t want just another parking lot. I want cars entering the garage to feel like they’re landing on an airplane runway, guided by dynamic lights," he explained.

Lumispace embraced the challenge, crafting a lighting solution tailored to his cinematic vision:

• Durable LED Floor Lights: Designed to endure vehicle weight and environmental stress, the lights met both functional and aesthetic standards.
• Smart Sensor Technology: The system included motion sensors that activated sequential lighting patterns to guide vehicles.
• Runway-Inspired Design: The lights utilized a combination of yellow, white, and blue hues, creating a striking visual effect reminiscent of airplane runways.

After a year of meticulous design and testing, Lumispace delivered a fully integrated lighting system. Here’s how it worked:

1. Vehicle Detection: As a car approached the garage, motion sensors triggered the first section of lights to illuminate.
2. Sequential Activation: As the vehicle progressed, the floor lights lit up in a synchronized sequence, perfectly matching the car's movement.
3. Landing Completion: When the car reached its designated parking spot, the lights softly transitioned to a calming blue hue, signaling the journey's completion.

During installation, the team embedded the lights seamlessly into the floor for a clean, minimalist look, ensuring both functionality and style.

On the building’s grand opening day, the CEO decided to experience his dream firsthand. As his car approached the garage, the lights came to life, illuminating the path like an airplane runway. Each step of the journey was guided by the dynamic lighting, creating a truly cinematic experience. As the car settled into its spot, the lights transitioned to a soft blue, perfectly concluding the scene.

In that moment, the CEO realized that his vision had not only been achieved but exceeded. The garage was no longer just a parking space—it was a work of art and a reflection of his passion for cinema.

The CEO later expressed his gratitude to Lumispace:
“Every time I drive into my garage, I feel like I’m stepping into a movie. Thank you for making my dream a reality.”

This project became a hallmark example of how bespoke lighting solutions could redefine architectural spaces, combining technical innovation with emotional storytelling.
