Entry Description

The lighting design philosophy is focused around indirect illumination and warm-dim sources. Adjustable recessed accents are purposefully used only in the reception and restrooms to accent artwork and feature elements. Linear glowing warm-dim LED pendants were specified at the beams in the Gym and Yoga because the project did not think the perimeter uplighting would be sufficient. Ultimately, they were not installed and the client was surprised and satisfied with the levels achieved indirectly.
A centralized dimming system is employed to carefully balance the multiple sources, effects and features with automatic astronomical control from daytime, evening and throughout the night. All sources used are high-efficiency, warm-dim LED.
