Lighting in Design August-September 2017

The approach was design-driven – far and beyond simple photometrics. Mock-ups allowed lighting fixtures to be positioned to achieve the best lighting direction, ensuring that the different elements of the building were properly featured. They were also critical in identifying colour tem- peratures to achieve desired effects. In addition, the designers elected to work with grazers and carefully positioned the lighting fixtures in relation to the stone façade. The finishing touch Lightemotion established seamless integration of the lighting fixtures on the façade by creating light caches; fixtures are not visible and no glare effects are present to the public from any angle of the building.
