388 George St - Foyer

Here is some of the initial lighting work with FJMT and work in progress photos during the commissioning of this truly unique interior. 

We start our projects with sketches and imagery to determine the design narrative, develop the the hierarchy of brightness and big ideas. We then work through modelling and physical testing to sure up the design development. 

The 388 George project used a 24 hour approach to lighting design with analysis of daylight informing the electric lighting

We’re also there at the end of the project, working with the contractors to ensure lighting is aimed and commissioned to meet our clients needs and accentuate the design intent.

More background below, and pro photos to follow:

Images form early 2020 of a simplistic but monumental lighting design for the atrium of the refurbished 388 George St. The scheme was developed to replicate and modernise the original uplighting scheme of the atrium ceilings. The interior design has been updated and the new lighting provides a both a respite from the office enviroment and usable work space below. The results create a distinct night time character for the tower, describing the interior form and function.

Direction luminaires are aimed individually at the ceilings to create a uniform glow whilst reducing glare for the office users.

A once in a lifetime project...

ANZAC Memorial Hall of Service. 

‘The Hall ... draws from the spatial qualities and is envisioned as a contemporary interpretation of the original halls to extend the Memorial visitor experience into the new facility. Visitors are able to see into the Hall of Memory via sightlines through the grand stairwell and the Oculus.

The architectural form and symbollic purpose of the space is reinforced and given powerful meaning by Fiona Hall's artwork. The partnership between Ms Hall and Centenary Extension architect, Richard Johnson honours the original partnership between artist Rayner Hoff and architect Bruce Dellit.’

We have been fortunate to take part in Light Asia 2018, part of the Hakata Light Walk in Fukuoka, Japan. The light walk has been running for 14 years and this year the non-profit organisation Light Asia invited 6 lighting designers from independent firms around the globe to take part in the festival. Each designer was assigned a team of 10 students from both Tokyo and local universities. In the space of 3 days each team was tasked to illuminate a different architectural or landscape area of the Jotenji Temple and surrounds. 

We worked with the students who were studying from major degrees in architecture, industrial design, environments and engineering subjects to draw up a concept, acquire luminaires and equipment, develop and test the design and finally install the scheme ready for the light festival. Our concept was based upon lighting the gate to a more human scale by lighting the Hakata Ori, a traditional local pattern which is carved in the gate’s structure, and revealing at night the Noren, emblazoned with the local emblem – a celebratory banner only hung during the festival. 

The history of the place was then highlighted by referencing the river which previously ran through the site. We successfully worked around language barriers through drawing, physically tested different lighting effects and the results included a bespoke optical design conceived, developed and made by the students. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to work in such a beautiful environment and inspiring the next generation of designers. Last year the event attracted 120,000+ visitors, and favorable weather this year suggested that this figure will increase.

Sydney Siege Memorial

The piece is a memorial of the 2014 Sydney Siege and the blanket of flowers laid by the public in wake of the the events. Created and designed by Jess Dare and Richard Johnson.

‘More than 200 hand-crafted flowers in mirrored cubes were inlaid into the pavement just metres from where the deadly siege unfolded three years ago, which claimed the lives of cafe manager Tori Johnson and barrister Katrina Dawson.’

Australian Peacekeeping Memorial, Canberra

We began work  on this project in 2009 with Marcus Trimble. Tim Hunt and I designed the scheme to signify the role of Australian Peacekeepers as the light between two conflicting bodies. The memorial was dedicated in October 2017.

Very pleased to receive the inaugural IALD/AILA Ligting Prize for our work with Oculus, at John Whitton Bridge. Judges praised the integrated effects to that both create an inviting night time environment, and meet statutory requirement. Good work Tim Hunt @designingtim

Window of Opportunity, Vivid Sydney 2016, by Arup

This year we collaborated with Macquarie Bank to illuminate the facade of 50 Martin Place. 

The concept was to accentuate the activity within the building, as well as the iconic facade; which was famously the basis for a child's money box in Australia.

Window of Opportunity uses dichroic film applied to the office windows. This is a passive scheme which uses the existing interior office lighting, and the viewing angle to change the colour of the windows. From the east the windows are pink, from the west they are yellow.

To complement this, the substantial neo-classical columns are uplit in the same tones as the windows. Tonal changes occur at walking speed to follow the thousands of visitors who will in Martin Place during the festival.

The building underwent a multi award winning refurbishment for which Arup completed multi dis-design. We won the IES NSW Award of Excellence 2015 for the lighting design.
