island. Also on their team is Andrew Gauld from Edinburgh, Scotland who brings even more international experience to the firm. They call this partnership Blacker Oldner Lighting Design, BOLD. Currently, the Scott and Jez combined teams are working on hi-end residential projects, retail development projects and a resort in Cancun for the Breathless brand. We asked Scott about the highlights of his most recent trip to the UK. “This trip was more of a personal trip visiting family in Maidstone so it was low key on the business side”. Turns out his favorite architectural discovery on this trip was the Lloyd’s of London building. “I sure would love to get my lighting hands on that one and play a new song on it”. Maybe someday he and Jez will get that chance.
