“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Outdoor Sports Lighting

This project addresses the lighting design of a college baseball stadium. Some resources that were used to help develop guidelines for design included the IES recommendations for sports lighting, the NCAA regulations, Model Lighting Ordinance, and the Institution of Lighting Professionals. 

The design incorporated Hubbell Lighting's sports lighting package, specifying 1500W Metal Halide lamps. A pole layout was configured using 8 poles

Custom Luminaire

The Unity Fixture. Asked to design a light fixture for an up and coming fictional marketing firm, Fast Frog Inc. This design follows the design process from concept to construction of a rendered AutoCAD model and a physical model. 

Concept: There are many differing ideas for how to solve a problem but in order to do so, the firm must agree and all come to a similar solution.

Location: The Unity Fixture was placed in the center of two adjacent open office spaces physically and and psychologically reinforcing the firm's goals of achieving a common solution.Fall 2013.

John Flynn Case Study

Tension vs Relaxation. The work of designer John Flynn was examined and applied to an office conference room. The same space can have contrasting tones using two different lighting design approaches. Tension (first photograph) was achieved by incorporating uniform lighting with an emphasis on the walls. Relaxation was created using indirect lighting with a non uniform approach. 

These are two images of an illuminated physical model that was constructed for the study. Fall 2013.
