Brubecks Restaurant,
Dublin Brubecks restaurant is located in the
fashionable Ballsbridge area of Dublin. It has no natural light - so instead it
was decided to design a custom 3m x 14m artifical twin skylight.
This was back lit by coloured cold cathodes to
provide even low-maintenence illumination to simulate the
colours of the natural sky. The individual cold cathodes and
the other lighting is controlled using a Futronix Enviroscene
digital scene dimmer.
The Enviroscene has a built in time clock which
automatically fades between the programmed scenes during the day. The scenes
are set up to allow the atrium to fade from blue sky in the morning through
various hues during the day - to a deep blue/mauve at night.
In addition the remaining areas are target lit with
narrow angled low voltage downlighters to provide comfortable illumination for
diners, without raising the ambient levels of light in the interior. |
