Main Entry, "The Prow"
The oversized lodge design demands lighting sympathetic to the architecture to provide adequate illumination from ceilings 30' or higher. At the main entry, fixtures with custom mounting arms incorporate uplights (not on) to light eaves and kickers.

Central Radial Arc
100W and 70W CMH PAR lamps, organized within the ceiling module, light 1st and 2nd floor circulation. High CRI CMH's uplight wood trellises and shed roof to humanize the immense scale. Pendant fixtures mark bridges to aid wayfinding. Each fixture type is controlled separately.

Prow, Interior
Atrium fixtures modified for 150W CMH T6 lamps are integrated into the central beam. Low wattage custom chandeliers mark soft seating. Roof mounted floodlights accentuate ceiling structure. All sources are long life, high efficacy, and are accessible via ladders or lifts.

Food Court, Interior
Column mounted uplights minimize daytime contrast ratios and prevent Food Court from feeling cavernous. Low voltage festoon lights establish a lower ceiling plane. Purlin mounted CMH PAR lamps provide ambient illumination. Exposed lamps throughout are louvered to prevent glare.

Food Court, Exterior
Uplit ceilings serve as a beacon while the illuminated mural demarcates the Food Court's boundary. Fluorescent billboard fixtures cantilever from the cove housing remote ballasts.

Food Court, Column Close-Up
MH uplights illuminate the outdoor dining shelter while pairs of arm mounted post top fixtures light the seating. Conduit is concealed within the tube steel.

Food Court, Water Feature
Lighting reinforces architectural rhythm; post-top fixtures define the perimeter of the plaza. Wattage permitting, CMH lamps were used throughout. Water feature lighting by others.

Ashrae 90.1 allows 1.8 W/sf, this project uses 0.9 W/sf.

South Village Center
Lighting vocabulary unifies project from mall entry to southern Plaza. CMH downlights grazing stone columns emphasize pedestrian path. Tivoli lights reminiscent of Food Court span between buildings.
