Lighting Maquette

Award for Best Craft of Construction

This maquette was created to test various lighting techniques to observe their effects on multiple design choices. The conference room model serves as a representation of a space in our upcoming workplace project. Differing materials were utilized to accurately absorb and reflect light throughout the model to test specific lighting effects. The local vernacular of Germantown, Nashville, TN is represented through the exposed brick and dark wood furniture. During presentations, much of the overhead lighting can be turned off or dimmed to reduce glare on presentation screens or pinup boards, while under-table lighting and indirect lighting stay on for safety purposes.
