roof structure. The result is a subtle lighting solution that provides only the light needed to accomplish functional and aesthetic goals. “It is great to see a beautiful, clean ceiling – the lighting design is simple and effective by concealing lighting within display cases and creat- ing focal points and floating wall effects,” commented one award judge. To achieve uniform brightness on the roof surface, two types of lights were used. In-ground ceramic metal halide lamps installed just inside the
glazing on the three glazed façades were provided with multiple lenses and reflectors to allow tuning of the distribution for optimum uniformity. Additional adjustable linear fluorescent asymmetrical uplights illuminate the remainder of the roof from above the solid core on the west elevation. The subtle levels of light at night result in an illuminated environment that not only maintains transparency, but makes possible the use of a key programmatic element: the glass panels running through the center of the space contain a special

film that allows images to be projected onto the glass and maintain their brilliance in the lit space. “The amount of respect in this project given to
modern design and architectural form is commendable,” stated another IALD judge. “Planar surfaces are left unmarred by lighting, and yet displays and objects within the space are highlighted appropriately.
I don’t like to use the
word ‘integrated’ too often, but this project clearly shows a ‘whole-team’ effort.”
SEATTLE LIGHTING INNOVATION CENTER
AN INTEGRATED TEAM PROVIDING:
When approaching the task of designing a building situated next to the work of one of architecture’s true masters, the architect’s approach to designing a visitor’s center for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House Complex resulted in a subtle dialog between old and new, using contrasting concepts rather than imitation. The lighting design helps reinforce this approach by emphasizing the differences between
the two works, maintaining transparency and lightness in contrast to the original house’s introverted nature. Sophisticated analysis produced an energy efficient lighting design that reinforces the striking form of the building while using exceptionally low installed lighting power densities. The transparent floor to ceiling façade provides panoramic views of the historic house, and also provides ample controlled daylight into the
20
orientation space. Custom designed LED casework lighting provides the boost required to draw emphasis to the exhibits and artifacts related to the house in the horizontal exhibit cases throughout the space. To provide as much clarity to the design as possible, the design team took the challenge of lighting the space without installing downlights in the ceiling, using uplighting only to emphasize the
