dpa lighting consultants were commissioned at the beginning of 2020 to help develop a lighting concept for a brand new retail store roll-out for Sky.

Working closely with the Sky in-house design team, retail designers The One Off, and other specialist consultants a completely new store design concept was developed. Working with the open ceilings and exposed services a flexible high level lighting solution was integrated, which provided a varied light pattern with focused highlighting of the product displays and a comfortable, warm, ambient effect. Specialist experience booths were developed with dimmable and automated lighting. There are numerous integrated lighting details to accentuate the interiors and provide visual accent and interest at the lower level. The hero pieces are two feature pendant installations, each consisting of multiple pendant globes. Each globe is independently addressable to provide pre-programmed lighting sequences with white lighting, and RGB colour change for special events.

The Westfield White City store was the first flagship site to be completed in December 2021.
