The lighting design for the two-story lobby defines an approachable sophistication that helps accentuate its spaciousness while also creating cues to orientation and wayfinding. Situated along Oakland’s Lake Merritt and originally built in 1960, the new interior architecture comes to life through precise integration of vertical and horizontal reveals with minimal downlighting to enhance its sleek and contemporary expression. The majestic chandelier sings as the focal point for circulation and enjoyment. Quality and fine-tuned comfort is combined with an energy-efficient programmable dimming system that tracks different light levels throughout the day and night.
