The challenge was to provide lighting illumination levels that would replicate an office environment while accommodating the flexibility requirements of retail space features.

Suspended Axis Beam luminaires with high output T5 lamps and MR11’s float on the diagonal at 18’AFF.  A feature box suspended from the ceiling is illuminated by vertical lengths of maintenance-free LED’s in acrylic tubes provided by Illumineer.  T5 lamps hidden behind walls provide illumination and display lighting.  Adjustable double MR16 lamps highlight objects on tables while providing textured ambient illumination.

Daylight sensors control all lighting via Lutron dimming system, taking advantage of the natural light provided from full storey windows.

Eurolite and Figure 3 worked with Smith + Andersen on the minimalist design, which achieved full LEED points (3 point allowance 35% below ASHRAE).  The design won a 2007 IIDA Lighting award.
