StudioK1, working with P+R Architects, has helped create a new look for Ralph's Fresh Fare in Sherman Oaks, California. Taking up a city block on Ventura Boulevard, this new concept for Fresh Fare brings an urban feel to the grocery shopping experience. The main entry features an atrium dominated by a luminous sculpture composed of over 100 LED light boxes of different shapes and sizes. The effect is felt from across the street, creating a new visual icon for the area.

Park Place Apartments is a 980 unit luxury apartment community adjacent to mixed-use development and part of an overall master-planned community by The Irvine Company. The community features an array of amenities that includes three saltwater pools, a cardio theatre fitness center, and outdoor courtyards with barbecue areas and fireplaces. The Architecture was done by MVE+Partners, with landscape architecture by EPT Design and lighting design by tk1sc's StudioK1.

This master-planned apartment community in San Jose encompasses over six city blocks, with almost 1,800 units of residential luxury, a large community park, swimming pools, and retail. The project included roughly 26,000 square feet of retail space-oriented along North First Street, Lyster said. A five-acre city park is also part of the community. Faced with the sustainability measures set forth by Build it Green standards, Crescent Village is among the first Northern California communities to implement the state-wide stormwater treatment requirements while using recycled water to irrigate the landscape. tk1sc provided electrical engineering and architectural lighting design services for all phases of this project.

Pacific City Apartments is a new high-end LEED-registered residential apartment community located on 14 acres with a design inspired by the crashing waves of the nearby ocean. The project consists of six buildings sitting atop a two-level continuous underground parking garage. Residents can see our lighting design team's work throughout the property, which includes 516 units with resort-style amenities such as a 5,000 square foot outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and conference facilities, with cohesive landscape architectural features throughout the 17-acre site. This project also includes a two-acre public park. ‍The team was challenged with making the many areas sexy, hip, and inviting while adhering to a strict energy code and appeasing a client who wanted the world but didn't want to spend too much money. The entire property uses LED sources, standardizing at 3000K or warmer. Simple dusk to dawn photocells controls the lighting. The pool deck is the focus of the property, while multiple courtyards spread throughout the property between the apartment buildings bring interest while keeping light focused on those spaces as not to impede on the tenant's private spaces. Coordination with the architect and landscape architect was essential to gracefully incorporate the lighting into the fun while bringing the project at thirty percent under California's Title 24 Energy Code.

tk1sc’s boutique lighting design team, studioK1, provided architectural lighting design services on this new, mixed-use project. This development is comprised of 332 apartments, amenity spaces, and 10,000 square feet of retail. The apartments are geared towards the student population at SDSU. The complex consists of a 4-story contemporary building arranged in courtyard configurations. Connections from the pedestrian spine to the internal courtyard spaces link the community gathering spaces with the more passive courtyard spaces. Internally, the project provides a variety of amenities and spaces that enhance the user’s experience. Amenities include a clubhouse, pools, a social lounge, a chill zone, and plenty of outdoor recreation areas for residents to gather for a game of sand volleyball, bocce, or picnicking.

This project is a two-story building of approximately 23,163 square feet. The Newport Harbor Yacht Club is located on 720 West Bay Ave., Newport Beach, CA. The project is designed as a replacement to the existing building.

Additional highlights of the Library include a children’s library, teen study area, a fireplace reading room, community meeting areas, an outdoor courtyard, art and photographic displays, an artistic replication of Beale’s Cut, and original works of art. Tk1sc provided electrical engineering services with studioK1 providing lighting design. StudioK1 has received recognition for lighting excellence for this project from the IES.

Jumpman's new flagship store is a 24,000 square foot tenant improvement of a historic building located in downtown Los Angeles. tk1sc designed the new mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems that the landmark building required, including a pinnacle product lounge, sports-science-equipped Flight Lab, and a full regulation-size rooftop basketball court.

Airborne Systems is a world leader in military parachute design, manufacturing, and training. They tasked tk1sc with providing full-service MEP engineering and commissioning services for their new office, warehouse, and manufacturing space. Located in Santa Ana's Alere's Orange County Industrial Center. This 159,163 Square Foot space provides Airborne System enough space to operate. The intention for this space design was to create a better connection between the front office and the manufacturing floor that blurs the lines between the two functions. This space's open ceiling concepts allowed us to show off our design work while adding to the overall rugged and industrial feel of this space.

This 12,514 square foot state-of-the-art library features a campus-like environment, with central public gathering spaces and outdoor learning courtyards.
