light series 2 | museum store

the gift shop @ nc museum of art contained all layers of lighting:
  • ambient from the CFL bulbs/luminaires installed inside select waffles of the concrete ceiling
  • focal glow to highlight & attract attention to all the beautiful merchandise
  • sparkle to showcase & highlight displays on shelving

sparkle around displays


spotlights showcase art


spotlights make finding a book easier; and
windows allow for abundant natural lighting, but never harsh or direct because its protected by the overhead/covered entrance

CFLs were placed strategically throughout the ceiling's waffles to create a nice ambient lighting


where are my sunglasses? these spotlights glared at you while standing at the register, creating a discomfort glare. the direction needs to be adjusted down just a little.
