Glasgow, Scotland
This project is the redevelopment of an existing office building at 191 West George Street to create a new entrance sequence, replacing a dated atrium that has been recovered to provide additional lettable floor space.
The lighting design is closely integrated with the architecture, using linear slots and coves that wash walls and soffits with light. The window recesses are also used to create a sense of light and form. The lift lobby has a ceiling formed from panels of light recovering the sense of a lit atrium and creating a significant level of brightness to draw people through the building from the outside.
The lighting is warm LED throughout, creating a feeling of richness to the materials specified within the spaces, and indirect lighting creates a softness and pleasantness for those waiting in reception.
