Focus Lighting, Inc., New York, NY Design Team: Paul Gregory, Principal Designer; Juan Pablo Lira, Lighting Designer; Michael Cummings, Lighting Designer; Stephanie Daigle, Asst. Lighting Designer; Levia Lew, Asst. Lighting Designer; and Dan Nichols, Project Manager Project: Mikimoto, Crystals at CityCenter, Las Vegas, NV The “Deep Blue Sea” concept behind Mikimoto in Crystals at CityCenter recalls the natural origins of pearls and the watery depths where they are formed. An eco-friendly approach was in harmony with this naturalistic concept. The sheer silver curtains at the storefront are uplit with energy-efficient color-shifting programmed for special promotions or holiday sales. Inside the store, scallops of light cascade down travertine walls and emulate sunlight filtering through waves onto a coral bed. One of the key challenges was the decision to use metal halide lamps. Mikimoto had never used metal halides in their stores, but the strict energy code dictated by this LEED building ruled out the option for the regularly used halogen lamps. Multiple mock-ups were done at the Mikimoto store in New York City, as well as at the lighting designers’ offices, to test various lamp and fixture combinations. Special attention was given to lighting the pearls, as compared to gemstones, while maintaining the clean look of the cases. This examination helped define the correct fixture outputs and beam-spreads to best showcase the merchandise. Through a creative use of energy-efficient, low-maintenance sources the lighting system stays within the energy allowances for the building, while simultaneously realizing the “Deep Blue Sea” concept.

Kaplan Gehring McCarroll Architectural Lighting, El Segundo, CA Design Team: Martin van Koolbergen, Partner and Kristy Benner, Associate Project: Private Residence, Beverly Hills, CA The 6,000 sq. ft. clean and contemporary home stands as a design symbol in its community. A softly illuminated colonnade welcomes guests who traverse the limestone walkways that appear to float above water. The client maintains a continuously evolving and rotating art collection, which requires a flexible and efficient lighting solution. Art is illuminated to museum standards with Halo H1499IC low voltage downlights while the control system maintains the necessary energy efficiency as required by California’s stringent energy codes. Subtly integrated light sources in niches, stairs and millwork are the perfect complement to the clean lines of the art and architecture.

Lighting Design Alliance, Long Beach, CA Design Team: Charles Israel, President; V.S.K. Varma Namburi, Lighting Designer; Jeremy Windle, Lighting Designer; and Anne McMills, Lighting Designer Project: Herman Miller Showroom, Los Angeles, CA When Herman Miller, Inc. went looking for a showroom in Los Angeles, a former 18,000 sq. ft. warehouse located in a revitalized area caught its attention. Adaptively reusing the building, the design team was able to create the first LEED Platinum (Commercial Interiors) project in Los Angeles and the 47th LEED Platinum project in the world. The building’s energy performance was a key factor in obtaining this LEED certification, with the lighting system incorporating high efficacy fixtures, occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting. After a lengthy commissioning process, the facility now operates at $0.69 sq. ft., which stands at 41% better than ASHRAE (90.1) and excelling California Title 24. The key design directives from Herman Miller were “curious”, “ingenious” and “design excellence.” The showroom was to be clean and modern with a warm incandescent, “residential and commercial” feel, and implemented as a low-cost, energy-efficient system. The most distinctive feature of the design is the custom oversize Shaper pendants, inspired by sculptor Richard Serra’s work. These pendants indirectly illuminate the space with dimmed fluorescent sources, while three individually controlled zones of nine RSA halogen IR accent fixtures in each pendant provide task and display lighting. Occupancy and daylight sensors located throughout the space monitor lighting levels, reducing power demand and allowing Herman Miller to adapt to the ever-changing needs of visitors and staff within the showroom.

Robert Singer & Associates, Inc., Basalt, CO Design Team: Robert Singer, Principal/Owner and Kim Quint, Lighting Designer Project: Top of Mill Residence, Aspen, CO The modern 10,430 sq. ft. mountain home sits slope side on Aspen Mountain and was built as a luxury specification home. Finishes and details throughout the home focused on creating a contemporary mountain retreat that would attract a wide range of buyers. RSA Accurus ACT-1885PM square downlights were used throughout the home to complement and mimic architectural elements. Linear product mounted in custom details accentuates the sloped ceilings and accents the materials. Decorative fixtures are placed strategically helping guide the eye into the space without limiting views. Large windows at the entry and upper level create a lantern effect as one approaches the home, welcoming them inside. Layers of light with a warm incandescent quality promote feelings of relaxation and ease. The exterior patio needed to be a place that was comfortable to relax and enjoy the unique atmosphere of slope side living. Emphasis was placed on the BBQ area and perimeter walls helping to delineate the space. Control systems in the home are tailored to ease of use and are meant to be intuitive to prospective owners and visitors alike.

Focus Lighting, Inc., New York, NY Design Team: Paul Gregory, Principal Designer, Christine Hope, Lighting Designer, Catherine Starmer, Asst. Lighting Designer, Melody Rosser, Project Manager and Heath Hurwitz, Project Manager Project: Ink48, New York, NY Once a large printing factory in Manhattan’s Midtown West, this piece of old New York is now the site of Ink48, a boutique hotel presented by Kimpton Hotels and a restaurant and rooftop bar developed by restaurateur Adam Block. The luxury hotel brand collaborated with the design team at Rockwell Group and the architectural lighting designers to transform the warehouse space into a chic urban retreat. Architect Carlos Zapata created a unique assembly of glass and metal to perch on the existing roof of the original building to accommodate a series of rooftop terraces, presidential suites, and the bar with a view unlike any other in the city. The architectural lighting design at Ink48 draws on the industrial nature of the site and complements the bold patterns and textures found throughout the space. Subtle lighting details and selective highlighting creates a scheme that accentuates the juxtaposition of the original raw materials and modern design elements.

186 Lighting Design Group, Inc., Denver, CO Design Team: Gregg Mackell, Principal Designer and Adam Beck, Associate Designer Project: Mother Lode Residence, Aspen, CO Some of the most daunting design problems come in spaces with large, flat, monotonous ceilings. Although it is easy to provide functional lighting in this type of space, it is extremely difficult to layer lighting and create an intimate atmosphere. The designers spent hours working with the interior architect to break up ceiling planes with coves, reverse coves, skylights and varied ceiling elevations. Once the ceiling architecture was adequately broken up, RSA Quiet Ceiling square downlights were meticulously aligned with the architecture, furniture, built-ins and art locations. Every architectural junction in this project is a right angle. This made square apertures the perfect choice for the recessed lighting. RSA Quiet Ceiling squares illuminate nearly every room in this spectacular three level condominium. The diversity in RSA’s product line allowed for seamless transitions between accent, closet, downlight, wall wash and shower light applications. RSA squares were also chosen because of the ease in aiming, re-lamping and adding media. The adjustable RSA mudding frame made it easy for the contractor to adjust to the unusually thick Venetian plaster ceilings. IRiS compact fluorescent downlights and wall washer fixtures were used to meet all energy, emergency and egress codes for the lobby and public corridors. A total home control system provides simple control of the multiple layers of daylighting and electric lighting throughout the home. Choices of long life sources and dimmed settings minimize maintenance. Scenes are set to accentuate the rich materials and create a warm comfortable atmosphere for the owners and their guests.
