A moribund shopping center at the intersection of three major thoroughfares has been brought to new life through contemporary architectural features and a visually aggressive lighting design. With outdated, inefficient, and poorly maintained light fixtures, the center was dark and uninviting at night. With new, sleek, minimalist light fixtures with energy-efficient and low-maintenance lamping, the center has become a vibrant destination within its community.

Brown Jordan, the creators of high-end exterior furnishings since 1945, turned to StudioK1 to design the lighting in its West Coast flagship showroom at SOCO in Costa Mesa, California. The lighting scheme mimics the quality of exterior light, simulating how their customers would typically see the furnishings. Large, internally illuminated drums provide the cool ambient quality of daylight, while high output LED accents provide intensity and color temperature to represent sunlight. The entire installation is LED, providing a crisp, bright showroom with a fraction of the energy consumption of conventional fixtures.
