Entry DescriptionAt this 10,000SF clubhouse, guests travel on a fantastic journey as they “chase rabbits” between rooms. The lighting design is a celebration of playfulness with relaxed sophistication.
At the entry, LED bulbs hang over a translucent ceiling with custom double-raspberry-colored film, creating a dazzling effect. Backlit etched mirror panels adorn one wall, and to save costs, mirror on the right doubles the effect.
In the refined restaurant, light grazing up and down along the brick perimeter walls creates a soft unifying glow. Custom snoots on the recessed downlights create drama with tight table accents while lamps and sconces add a layer of extra glow.
Millwork display niches with integrated linear warm white tape light charming corridor seating.
Etched graphics within reflective panels are backlit with 3000k LED panels. The sculpture at the end of the hall is lit with track accents and uplights, hidden by custom-fabricated shrouds.
Millwork lighting in the library creates elegance, while neon art adds modern style. Each library shelf has a linear uplight from the front and a softer glow behind the books.
Halo-lit floating mirrors at the speakeasy create a bold yet delicate focal point.
In the arcade white LEDs backlight the cinema-inspired bar. Integral video game lighting was adjusted to tie it into the color palette and support the cohesiveness of this collection of spaces.
