AlfaTech Lighting Studio delivers solutions to address a range of goals, reducing energy consumption by harvesting daylight. Our Lighting Studio aims to delight occupants by bringing the daylight into a space by evenly distributing light while mitigating glare by considering how the eye adapts. We believe design should seamlessly transition from daylight to electric lighting, dynamically considering the sun’s rotation as it engages with a space. Our approach ensures a stimulating space that plays with light and shadow. Additionally, outdoor views have positive effects. Lighting Studio values and brings a biophilic design connecting occupants with nature. DESIGN THAT PLAYS WITH DAYLIGHT AND CONNECTS WITH NATURE

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

AlfaTech Lighting Studio engages daylighting model software to provide visual representations of how daylight will impact a facility. These images allow more informed design decision-making. Our clients expect floor plan calculation points and renderings to gain a better sense of light distribution. Lighting Studio provides floor plans, 3D views, and sectional perspectives to gain an insight into how daylight affects the space.

The firm provided lighting design for this advanced technology office space.

The firm worked closely with the architect to develop a biophilic design that includes a living wall. 3500K was utilized for this component to promote plant growth and highlight the wall and its green colors. The integration of daylight in the design promoted the concepts of nature while it allowed a reduction of the LPD (light power density). The architects used the seven highest mountains of each of the seven continents, called the Seven Summits to inspire the design of the space. They combined sharp angles and cool colors to create a consistent and beautiful design. The firm used a warm white tone to add a welcoming touch to the space, as well as to enhance the angles and colors. We also used pendants to emphasize the sharp angles and promote the concept even further. The project was designed below 20% of code required wattage per California Title 24.

TYPE: SIZE:

Tenant Improvement 20,000 SF

When the global pioneering fashion brand Farfetch was in need of a new home in downtown Los Angeles at The BLOC, we duly stepped up to the task of creating an environment, integrating work, private shopping and event areas. The exponential growth of Farfetch had resulted in workspaces in their previous location that did not adequately represent the Farfetch brand identity. The rise of private shopping and entertaining within their global commercial spaces meant that Farfetch required a design scheme to unify their worldwide presence and bring their digital brand to life. Inspiration from the individual style that Farfetch curates and delivers to its global audience. Farfetch.com is where technology and fashion worlds collide, and the design team took references from both of these worlds to create and customize a design scheme that is as distinctive and stylish as both the Farfetch brand and its customers. The project consisted of an IDF Room, flexible seating cafe which can double as an event space with bleacher seating, conference rooms, high density workspaces, recreational areas and work rooms. This project is a true testament to teamwork with the speed and quality of the execution such a complex project. We provided MEP, Technology and Lighting services

ACCREDIATION:

Targeting LEED Platinum

When the Steelhead Brewery, located in the historic WWI-era double height brick-brewery building recently closed its doors, Bob Trahan, the owner, focused his efforts on building a sustainable restaurant with locally sourced materials. Project is designed for LEED platinum certification with an on-site photovoltaic array that powered most of the lighting in the building. One of the sustainability goals was to retain the structure, brick finishes, existing skylights, clerestories and windows, with energy efficient lighting. Daylight integration and the use of energy efficient lighting was critical to project design. Careful use of awnings, blackout shades at each location helped to minimize glare out from direct sunlight and provide visual comfort. New landscaped courtyard includes a community garden, rain catchment system, outdoor garden with greenhouse that will yield fresh ingredients for the kitchen. Restaurant consisted of indoor dining, bar-lounge, daytime bakery, sunrooms and outdoor dining. Overall mood of the restaurant consisted of elements of contemporary, modern, and industrial designs to create a unique style that’s perfect for inner -city living. The challenge for lighting is to enhance the vibrancy of warm woods, deep greens and various textural, brick, glass and matted finishes with one color temperature. Use of 90 CRI and color tuning technology with color temperatures from 2200K to 6500K helped create the drama. Each space is carefully commissioned at the site to the different color temperature settings that brings out the vision of the space, creating a harmonious balance between function, mood and aesthetics leading to a successful restaurant lighting design.

LA American Apparel Flagship Store

Melrose, CA

TYPE: SIZE:

Lighting Design 4,000 SF

The client was inspired by the idea of bringing the outdoors indoors. Together with the design team, we pushed to make a statement by building around the palm tree, making it a major element of the store.

The architect wanted a very clean and simple design. We worked closely to bring very clean and even light using white track lighting that blended with the white ceiling.

One of the major challenges for lighting design for this space was the balance of Light Power Density (LPD) and a tight budget. Given that both space and budget were limited, we ran many photometric calculations with multiple layout and fixture options to provide the client with a wide range of options that could work with those constraints.
