Project:
Gosport Discovery Centre

Coloured Glass Entrance
The artwork is intended to be visible in both natural and artificial light, with the overall appearance changing as ambient lighting conditions vary. Martin Donlan drew influences of the sea and pebbles to create the design. Simple wall wash lighting provides the vibrant glow from within.

Entrance Artwork Signage
The monolithic and slender linear signage is enhanced by up lighting the entire length with a linear up light. This provides an even soft but effective wash of light up the height of the signage which doubles as a retaining wall for the ramp behind. Appropriate louvres were used to reduce glare from pedestrians and push light directly to the signage. These key elements compliment a relatively bland urban space and provide a vibrant focal point to the Discovery Centre.

In addition to the external lighting, the internal lighting has been carefully integrated into the existing 1960's "egg crate" ceiling to provide a striking and architecturally sympathetic solution providing up lit and down lit lighting components.
