Project Description
The revitalization of the Council Chambers’ original Brutalist interior respects the architecture and restores the original design intent with today’s standards and technology. Located in an iconic 1960’s building, the existing space was outdated, dark and dreary. Prior to this renovation, the Chamber was lit by fluorescent surface mounted troffers from a previous update that were inefficient, cumbersome, and awkwardly mounted, detracting from the original ceiling architecture. The goal of this project was to improve aesthetics to compliment the redesigned interior and to brighten the overall environment. All existing lighting was replaced with new high performance LED flat panels. Custom sizes were seamlessly integrated into the concrete coffers balancing light levels throughout the Chamber and public seating areas. The lighting was designed and completed in the spirit of the original lighting vision and allows the Chamber to finally be fully functional.
