A sculptural lighting strategy brings SmithGroup’s Los Angeles workplace to life.
When architecture and lighting work this well together, the results can be incredible. At SmithGroup’s 11,000-square-foot LA office, Lumenwerx collaborated with the designers to create a lighting strategy that becomes an integral part of the built form, helping shape workspaces, support tasks and add visual interest. Doing more than simply illuminating the space, the plan helps bring this already gorgeous office to life.
Just off reception, a series of Rim Shapes configured in large square formations helps define the space above a multipurpose area incorporating café seating, dining and lounge spaces. These softly rounded fixtures provide downlighting while effortlessly complementing the natural light streaming in through a wall of windows.
In the boardroom, Curvia 2 Prism rectangle offers ambient illumination and focused downlighting over a large meeting table, the curved form of the fixture echoing the pipes and conduits in the exposed ceiling. Here, Cluster Downlight luminaires also integrate into the design for more focused lighting during working sessions.
In an adjacent open multipurpose space, Curvia 2 pendant pattern makes an eye-catching statement above a communal worktable. Here too, the flowing form of the luminaire complements the exposed ceiling, delivering task lighting and visual interest without adding clutter or competing with the expansive views outside.
