In Irvine, California, Great Park Ice and FivePoint Arena combine the largest community ice complex in the region with a training facility for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Additional amenities include a pub, amphitheater, classrooms, and an array of outdoor public spaces. tk1sc provided Electrical, Fire Protection services, Architectural Lighting Design, Low Voltage system design services, and building commissioning for this project. tk1sc also completed design services for a 1.4-megawatt solar plant. This project was awarded a LEED Silver Certification. The $110 million, 280,000 square-foot project was designed around the vision of Ducks owners, Henry and Susan Samueli, to create a public resource to promote ice sports and health and wellness in the region. Great Park Ice was financed by the Irvine Ice Foundation, a nonprofit created by the Samueli's. At the end of the 50-year lease, ownership will revert to the community. The Great Park Ice facility is a 280,000 square foot ground-up facility within the Orange County Great Park sports complex, which features various outdoor sporting venues. The building features four indoor ice rinks — three NHL regulation rinks and one Olympic regulation rink — a full-service restaurant and bar, a café, and a gym. It serves as the new training facility for the Anaheim Ducks® National Hockey League team. The project's goal was to make a highly functional space for users that is energy efficient for all-day use, highly controllable for various event types, and aesthetically impressive through scale, palette, and integration. The rinks are illuminated with a total LED sports lighting solution connected to the building's dimming system for maximum controllability. One of the NHL rinks features 2,500 seats, a jumbotron screen with moving lights, and dmx controlled lighting for hosting an array of high-level entertainment and sporting events. The lobby, designed for high traffic volumes, features a double-height ceiling and wide circulation lit from linear pendants neatly organized within the acoustical baffle system at the ceiling. The baffles and lights are also arranged to align with the façade mullions furthering the architectural integration. The linear language is further celebrated at the entry portals to each rink and acts as wayfinding to lead users inward. The lobby illumination and varied blue-tinted glass façade create a lantern effect patterned in blue, white, and orange from the different visible surfaces from the exterior. The building uses a central control system and individual sensors to meet the strict energy code and reduce energy in unoccupied space, when daylight can be harvested from the tall glass façade, or when an event needs less light.

The two ten-story Trammell Crow next-generation office space, one-million-square-foot LEED Gold high-rise buildings are interconnected with sky bridges, a central park with outdoor workspaces, retail, café, and a9-story parking structure. This project involved full mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low voltage, and audio-visual technology design with a full build-out of tenant improvements for separate clients. After the start of construction in February of 2016, the team archived the goal of substantial completion in September of 2017, on time and under budget.

The 20-story 200 Spectrum Center Drive, Orange County, California’s tallest building, is a modern, flexible work environment with direct connections to the Irvine Spectrum shopping and entertainment center.‍The office tower is approximately 450,000 square feet and includes a six-level parking garage with 1,466 spaces. LPA worked with architect Pei Cobb Freed & Partners of New York to create a tower clad in a linen-finish stainless steel curtain wall with high-performance floor-to-ceiling glass.

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 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. The various space functions include offices and conference rooms, bar, lounge, dining area, ballroom, library, locker, and showers. tk1sc provided full-service engineering/ consulting services for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Low Voltage systems. Architectural lighting design services were also provided by our boutique lighting team, studiok1.

The new, state-of-the-art, 30,000 square foot Old Town Newhall Library offers more than 135,000 literary items, 68 public use computers, private study spaces, and meeting rooms. 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.
