This LEED project was an existing building renovation which involved a complete replacement of the ground and second floor interior finishes, including walls, ceilings and floor finishes. The lighting systems included a significant amount of architectural integration of lighting fixtures with ceiling, cove and wall systems that were carefully designed to conceal the light sources and produce the effect of floating planes. This lighting scheme was complemented by linear recessed lighting and decorative task lighting throughout the spaces that was selected to match the architectural styles and function of each space.
