Highlight the heritage character of the space.
This was primarily achieved by accentuating the feature brickwork walls throughout the space. LCI strategically positioned track wall washers to emphasize the texture of the walls, add depth to the environment, and enhance the visual comfort of users. Additionally, the tracks above the workspaces included an uplighting component to highlight the materiality of the heritage timber ceiling, providing soft light to the workspace. The indirect lighting throughout the workspace supports a human-centric approach conducive to wellness and productivity.
Provide flexibility in the workspace for cultural and social events.
The top floor of the studio was designed to accommodate alternative workspaces and flexible gatherings. To achieve this flexibility, LCI used tracks and spotlights to carefully illuminate task areas and accentuate curtains, adding vertical illumination and visual interest. Combined with the Casambi lighting control system, this setup allowed for the creation of different lighting scenes based on the use of the space.
Showcase past and current projects within the workspace.
The lighting approach resembled that of a gallery space rather than traditional office lighting. By employing a flexible track and spotlight system, LCI was able to highlight display models, installations, and boards for various projects.
During the commissioning stage, they fine-tuned the lighting by repositioning spotlights, adjusting their aim, and, in some cases, changing the lenses to shape the light as needed.
The location of the building encourages the use of public transportation and alternative commuting options. This promotes a cleaner, healthier environment by reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion. The technology deployed within the building also aligns with these sustainability goals.
The client gained a clear understanding of Casambi’s functionalities and the unparalleled value it brings to projects. The studio is an ever-evolving space, and the lighting design incorporating Casambi will help the studio adapt to future changes.
Moreover, having Casambi installed throughout the building allows COX to demonstrate the technology to clients and project partners, positioning themselves as true innovators in the industry.
The project is situated within a State-heritage listed building in Sydney’s Rocks district. A key focus was minimizing the impact on the heritage structure and reducing the project’s embodied energy. The indirect lighting throughout the workspace supports a human-centric design approach that enhances wellness and productivity. From a lighting control perspective, using Casambi allowed LCI to improve energy efficiency through lighting schedules and motion sensors to reduce energy consumption.
Casambi products are made from sustainable materials whenever possible. For instance, the lighting modules are made from recyclable materials, and the packaging is biodegradable. By using high-quality light fittings with excellent optics and high luminous efficacy, fewer fittings were needed, and they have longer lifespans, reducing the environmental impact of the lighting system.
