BUNGALOW HOTEL, LONG BRANCH, NJ CLIENT: IRONSTATE DEVELOPMENT ARCHITECT: MINNO & WASKO ARCHITECTS INTERIOR DESIGN: SIXX DESIGN A 24-room, luxury boutique hotel, The Bungalow is a major gateway to a once downtrodden area in this small beachfront resort. Upscale and plush in every aspect, the hotel has been called one of the ‘Top-10 Chic-est Hotels in the World’ by the travel industry. ‘Modern and iconic’ was the intent of the architects for the ex- terior, which BEAM answered with simple, yet effective bands of linear lighting at the roof-line. The fixed colour-temperature LED extrusions provide a warm, inviting glow up high, while the street level illumination radiates from wall recessed step lights, high-end decorative fixtures and silhouette signage throughout the complex. The striking interiors of the guest suites were designed by the New York firm Sixx Design and were illuminated by BEAM with only a handful of sources. This includes minimalist slot lights at the vanities, and simple-form surface fixtures, all providing the ideal amount of light throughout, allowing the interior finishes to pop. All sources are controlled by dimmers for maximum comfort. The entire project far exceeded the energy code allowance.


CHESTNUT HILL RESIDENCE, PHILADELPHIA, PA ARCHITECT: CDA&I


BEAM was commissioned to design the lighting of an 1,800-square-foot addition to a home in afflu- ent Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. The addition expanded the owners’ living space specifically suited to the husband and wife’s personal pastimes. A reading study for each, a gym for him and an art studio for her, requiring high level ambient light for her medium.


The addition has a northwest orientation and was created with the concept to bring the outdoors


in. The seamless architecture creates this feeling by using natural materials and floor-to-ceiling win- dows. The flooring of the interior extends seamlessly to the exterior patio paving and reaches into the woods, creating a fluid plane, uniting the inside with the out. BEAM continued this design with the luminaire placement and performance throughout. Ultimately, the even illumination results in the glass almost disappearing, ensuring the architecture achieves the connection with the wood- lands surrounding the home.


The interior floors are connected with a custom manufactured steel staircase, which is illuminated with an exposed linear metal track with similar finish and detailing, giving the appearance that the lighting and stair are integral.


Overall, the project was subtly illuminated and BEAM strategically placed only a small number of fixtures throughout. However, it was this constraint that created the comfortable interior atmo- sphere, while from the exterior, the house glows like a floating lantern in the trees from within, achieving a goal for the architect.

“By integrating lighting within a project as a whole, the architecture and landscape retain a sense of cohesiveness each day when the sun goes down and lighting takes control.”
