Fresh Restaurant & Bar
The smell and feeling that comes with being outdoors. The freshness of water and leaves in the peak of summer. So natural and beautiful
in the rarest state. Spriggy lush green Pandan leaves give off a fresh natural smell and emphasize the beauty in the Malaysian environment.
Like Pandan leaves woven together for the Hari Raya celebration, Malaysian culture is diverse but completely intertwined. This provides the
cultural and conceptual inspiration for a Malaysian restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. Seating 246 people in the main dining area and 57 in the
bar dining area, the restaurant is around 5,000 square meters.
In Malaysian culture, Pandan leaves are commonly used in cooking, weaving, serving food, and decoration for celebrations. These lush
green leaves are not common in the wild, but are cultivated for culinary uses.
The design for the Fresh Restaurant & Bar was constantly influenced by the weaving and layering of these leaves. Eaton’s io’s light-emitting
diode (LED) asymmetric cove luminaire is mounted in a well at the edge of a raised floor system at the entry. This fixture also glows light
from below accentuating the natural plants and water wall. Halo LED Stasis adjustable track fixtures are mounted slightly above a woven
custom ceiling feature and creates contrast and a layering of light that is focused on the tabletops throughout the space. Halo’s LED H4
gimbal adjustable recessed fixtures create an accent layer, highlighting the fresh natural plants around the perimeter of the restaurant and
are mounted above the custom ceiling feature that aims light at the proper angles to highlight the natural elements. The io LED asymmetric
cove product highlights the glass bar shelving and is used for backlighting the signage at the reception desk. Two woven decorative
pendants are used in the space to create focal points and emphasize the intertwined design.

Tatu Restaurant
Located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Tatu is located in the Doubletree by Hilton at the Intermark complex and features Malaysian cuisine.
The restaurant design was inspired by traditional, native Iban tattoos and their influence on modern tattooing; essentially how the old can
influence the new. The main goal of the lighting design was meant to “tattoo” the space itself, as well as creating a warm, welcoming
environment through the use of recognizable symbols.
Upon entering, guests will approach the custom-made host stand, with the face backlit by Halo HU20 light-emitting diode (LED) linear
undercabinet fixtures installed into the casework behind a decorative wooden panel. A thin Varia Ecoresin 3-form panel is also incorporated
to provide color. This same feature is found incorporated into the bar and ceiling throughout the space. Located in the waiting area are
RSA’s Next Generation Combolight Recessed LED fixtures to highlight featured artwork. One of the most prominent features found in the
waiting area is the gobo design projected onto the floor. With the combination of a Halo Studio Classic Series fixture with a custom gobo
holder and a Rosco gobo in Tortellini, the design intentions are clearly seen and the concept is reinforced with lighting at the entry.
Throughout the multiple dining areas, IRiS recessed adjustable downlights are used for general lighting. These downlights are arranged in a
manner inspired by the dotwork technique of tattooing. Every light is meant to serve a purpose and pinpoint a certain area just as every dot
of ink serves a purpose to pinpoint an area on the skin. Decorative pendants are used over both the bar and booth seating to create focal
points. These pendants include an amber-colored diffuser with cutouts that create a glowing, patterned effect on the tabletops. Located in
the lounge area are two Shaper 143-P Stepped Drum pendants, both of which have marigold and metallic brass paint finishes.
The main feature of the lighting design is the backlit ceiling. The ceiling consists of beams and dropdown wooden panels, similar to those
found in the host stand and bar. More 3-form panels in Vitamin C create a warm yellow-orange light that glows outward and accents
the “tattooed” pattern. This effect is achieved through the use of Metalux SNL Series narrow staggered strip lights and a highly reflective
painted white surface behind the panels.
Considering the large amount of daylight found in the space, the dining and bar lighting is controlled through the iLumin control system.
This allows them to be automatically and easily adjusted to specific times of the day and as weather changes. The lighting design was achieved mainly through the use of LED lamps, which were chosen for their flexibility, energy efficiency and color
temperature. All lamps are either 3000K or 3500K and a CRI ranging from 85 to 90 to enhance the appearance of the food and accent the
textures of wooden surfaces, specifically the tabletops and bar. Overall, the restaurant concept is enhanced through the use of backlighting, shadows and patterns in the lighting design.

REI’s Angular Outlook
To bring someone indoors and inspire them to be outdoors is a feat by itself. Lifestyle stores like Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) face
the challenge everyday of inspiring people to want to come inside to shop, but then go outside right after and use their product. With the
concept of angular outlook in mind, the lighting design in this space strives to bring customers in to experience a different perspective on
the outdoor scheme that will then direct them outside to experience it for themselves.
Making the product look good is the main goal of any lighting scheme in a retail space. Soft, indirect, general lighting plays an important
role in this goal. To go along with the angular aesthetic, indirect/direct, suspended Neo-Ray Triad 17-IP light-emitting diode (LED) linear
fixtures in the shape of triangles provide ambient lighting and a daylight, sky effect for the entire store. Halo track adjustable LED fixtures
add another layer of light to directly accent all products. The two feature columns in the space help wayfinding with the big typography on
each side labeling the adjacent shop. The columns are illuminated with Lumière Boca 696 floor-mounted LED fixtures. Also assisting in
wayfinding, cove lighting with Metalux SNLED surface-mounted LED strip fixtures is located on the top of the columns as a beacon of light
for all customers to see, even from far away. The same cove striplight fixtures outline the triangular pyramid ceiling feature that hovers over
the major walkways throughout the space. Finally, recessed linear rectangular Neo-Ray 22-DR Straight and Narrow LED strips are installed
in the drop down triangular ceiling between the elevators. Cove lighting is also mounted on the top of the drop down, layered ceiling
between the elevators. There are also 4-inch, single-switched recessed Halo LED downlights that are scattered throughout to illuminate
small areas including the dressing rooms, restrooms, the main checkout counter, and offices. Finally, the warehouse and garage are
illuminated with suspended Metalux SkyBar high-bay LED fixtures. These fixtures feature WaveStream™ LED technology and adjustable
panels to direct the light in the correct direction so labels can be read – perfect for a warehouse.
The stereotypical concept of “bringing the outdoors, indoors” is incorporated in the space in a different twist. Yes, daylight is important.
Yes, nature is important. However, REI strives to bring the outdoors, indoors in a way that will inspire the client to experience the outdoors.
Eaton’s lighting solutions provide luminaires to perfectly stage and promote the sales of product at the flagship store of REI located in
Washington, D.C.

An Upstate New York Residence
Utica is one of seven upstate New York cities that was affected by extreme economic decline, due to the decline of industrialization. Since
the 1960s, once with a population of 100,410, people have lost jobs and moved away from the city. In 2008, Utica reached a record low
of 58,082 city members (Utica Master Plan, 2010, p. 16). The Utica Master Plan (2010) is the city’s plan for regaining its strength and
growing its population once again. One focal point in the plan is how to improve the downtown area and ways to increase its population
and community. Some of the strategies mentioned include marketing the downtown area as a perfect place for individuals to live and work
for those interested in both the arts and trades, as well as a welcoming and fun community; using artwork in all new construction; and the
creation of a “restaurant row” (p. 45).
This residential space has been designed for a young, affluent couple that has a true passion for the arts and collecting vintage-inspired
furniture. Taking that into consideration, they have chosen to make their home in the up-and-coming area, Utica, part of the “Rust Belt” in
upstate New York. As previously mentioned, the overall vibe of the city is very industrial and diverse and is what intrigued the couple to live
there. The couple admires how the city has chosen to bring life back to the area by implementing sustainable goals and strategies. They
purchased one of the mixed-use developments. Once two-row houses, the building is now being renovated into an art gallery on the first
and second floor, and a residential space on the third floor. This design will only include the residential portion of the building. The couple
has a bold and edgy, yet chic and luxurious style.
The purpose of this residential lighting design is to bring elements of the city that the couple has fallen in love with into their apartment,
using the surrounding area’s culture and sustainable strategies. One of the case studies that is discussed in the Utica Master Plan goes into
detail on the various ways buildings have been renovated in order to meet LEED standards in the past. A few that are discussed in regards
to lighting and electricity are light-emitting diode (LED) and compact fluorescent lighting, daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors,
thermally efficient windows and glass, and ENERGY STAR® or higher computers and appliances (p. 46).
The RSA QCM516 Mini-Quiet Ceiling LED luminaires will be used for ambient lighting. Using minimalistic Eaton luminaires will be key in
providing the appropriate amount of light for the space, while not taking away from the artwork and accent lighting pieces, and will create
an overall soothing feel in the apartment. The accent lighting that is being incorporated into the design include Halo HU20 undercabinet
LED fixtures in the kitchen, Neo-Ray Cove 74-IC in the living room, and Lumière Boca 615 on the exterior deck.

reNEW Retail Space
While reNEW is a collaborative retail space and creative environment, it also shows a process. Thus, it is imperative that the lighting
strategy responds and correlates to this movement. The overall feel of reNEW is a minimalistic approach. Many of the materials in reNEW
will be raw and recycled goods. In addition, some refined materials and gestures will be used to counteract the rustic feel. For instance,
glossy metal merchan¬dise fixtures may rest on rough wood floorboards. Furthermore, reNEW will be psychologically and aesthetically
broken down into three major categories or zones.
The first zone is symbolic of the first stage of the product-making process happening at reNEW. Characteristics of this initial space are
words such as minimalist, rustic, bare and unrefined. Raw goods are beautiful in their own sense, but haven’t quite reached their full
potential. The lighting in this space must hold true to this concept. Perhaps this lighting is as simple as a bare bulb hanging by a string. The
lighting must appear rustic and fluid. Therefore, the lamps should not be placed on a highly structured grid, rather it should happen very
organically. The only task that will happen in this space is moving goods from the shelves back to the studio. Therefore, its primary purpose
is entertainment so the lighting doesn’t need to be uniform.
The second zone is home to the assembly step of creating product. This is perhaps the longest and most vital stage. Some product may
take longer and require more attention than others. For this reason, the space needs to remain as flexible as possible. Functionally, this
space holds groups taking part in workshops and individuals working on product at workstations. There will be multiple forms of lighting in
this space, but should ultimately provide even lighting, as the primary task in this space is production.
The third and final zone of reNEW is where you can find the final product on display. This space is a symbolic celebration and release. At
the same time, it is very rigid, stable, bold and confident. For this reason, the aesthetic must include bold gestures of movement and retail
fixtures. The lighting should be thoughtfully integrated with other aspects of the design, whether this is the retail fixtures, floor or wall reveals
or recessed into the ceiling.
The lighting throughout reNEW reiterates the story being told. By using practical fixtures in an innovative manner, the movement from raw
to refined comes full circle.

Concept of Day Lighting
The front of the store has floor-to-ceiling windows, but due to the size of the store it relies heavily on electrical lighting. However, the store
still does let in ample amounts of light that during the day will light up the front of the store.
Concept of Electrical Lighting
Due to the fact that the front windows do not let enough light in to illuminate the entire store, it relies greatly on different types of electrical
lighting throughout the store. General and accent lighting are used throughout the store to create a sufficient amount of light to showcase
the merchandise. The variety of lights are strategically placed to give off general illumination, accent merchandise or create focal points that
generate a unique environment for the customers.
Concept of Lighting Installation
Recessed downlights and high-power suspended pendants are used throughout the store to give the space a general illumination of 20
footcandles. The suspended pendants are used up and down the main walkways and the recessed downlights are used throughout the
entire store. Track lighting is used in all the departments to highlight the merchandise making the items more appealing to customers. The
track lighting brings these areas up to 30 footcandles.
The cove and wall wash lighting in the footwear area are used to illuminate the footwear and add an interesting decorative focal point to the
space. Finally, the chandeliers and pendants used in the common areas add more light as well as an embellished piece that adds character
to the space. The lighting in this space really makes the design by highlighting important features and adding attractive details. Overall,
Gemini Life has a natural, modern feel with lighting that brings the whole design together.
