light series 2 | sushi republic

i experienced the lighting in sushi republic at night, and found the lighting to be quite uneventful/dull. the recessed lighting in the lounge and dining areas is sufficient quality for seeing your food/drink, but nothing special--no interesting patterns or shadows. the sconces over the few dining tables in the front dining area immediately attract one's eye so they end up looking at the people dining there. (those poor people!) i recommend a little sparkle overhead--some interesting pendant lighting that enhances the lighting provided by the recessed as well as provide more of a pattern to the lighting; and remove the sconces.

discomfort glare--aren't these awful! those poor people...


this image does not communicate the harshness of the bright fluorescent lighting behind the decorative glass panel. it creates a distracting, discomfort glare that is facing you when you walk in the restaurant.
