| Creative
and dynamic lighting techniques were fully explored to produce
a facility with a unique character and identity as required
by the owners of health club. The appropriate application
of coloured light sources combining with cool white light
resulted in a most theatrical and vibrant interior. To further
enhance the visual experience, the varying lighting components
were linked to a lighting control system, which was fully
utilised to create varying moods and levels of ambience
throughout the day. It was important to reinforce the nature
of the space with a stimulating atmosphere that was both
energetic and relaxing.
The
success of the project was in the detailing and installation
of the architectural lighting. Where possible lighting hardware
was concealed and used to express ceiling and wall treatments
together with highlighting the spatial qualities of the
interior. The health club was at basement level and accommodated
a high number of structural columns which we decided to
express by way of recessed flush narrow beam fibre optic
outlets within the pool floor.
