The Challenge
With a preference for coloured lighting accents, the client’s open-plan spaces and different ceiling designs and heights, required a considered approach to ensure cohesion whilst highlighting the architectural details throughout. The bespoke contemporary mews house is home to various open-plan living spaces, beamed ceilings and vaulted structures – it was important the lighting was seamless and integrated.
The Solution
Within the open roof spaces, the architecture enabled us to conceal linear light sources within the structural beams. A defined palette of colours was provided to enable easy selection of colours to suit the function of the space at a given time.
We delivered a scene setting lighting control system was provided to enable simple and precise control for the different lighting elements and flexibility throughout the property. This allows the client to combine a variety of light fittings ensuring the lighting it just right for any activity or time of day.
Staircase stringer lights
for nighttime way finding
Many different light fitting types were used throughout the home, including energy efficient lights, mounted in the string, to light the tread of the stairwell, providing low level lighting, lighting the spaces together.
Carefully circuited low glare recessed downlights are placed specifically framing the walls and corridor, drawing your eye beyond the space. Artwork throughout the property is lit appropriately adding depth and personality to the property.
Lamps provide localised lighting
Table and floor standing lamps provide more localised lighting, illuminating specific areas and personal activities whilst adding to the ambient atmosphere. Recessed Downlights mounted in the false beams of the vaulted ceiling providing an even distribution of light whilst remaining discreet.
Scene setting is the perfect solution
for open plan spaces
Our scope of work extended to the external terrace where we provided wall mounted downlights to highlight the exterior furniture and planters creating a relaxing atmosphere. By adjusting the brightness and intensity of the lights, we can mimic natural light more effectively. Wall washing provides subtle illumination to the foliage and allows light to graze along the brickwork.
Scene setting is a great solution for multi-functional spaces where you undertake lots of different activities. Theses can be set to different light intensities to suit the clients’ preferences across the different areas of the home.
