When we first visited this barn it shell in an open field with bare earth floor and barely any tiles on the roof.  We worked very closely with our client during the year long build to design a flexible lighting scheme to enhance the ground floor living space which encompassed the entire ground floor.  Designed as separate rooms/areas but without doors - and opening up to the double height stairs/landing - zoning the lighting to delineate the spaces was essential.  We designed the lighting in conjunction with a knx system.  As well as discreet wall panels with lighting for house & garden is also operated via an ipad.  Scenes were set up for maximinum flexibility and, more importantly, so that the client found it easy to use.

  • Country barn exterior

    Discreet lighting is used to lead the way to the barn without uplighting the night sky. Complying with the dark skies policy in open countryside.

  • Dining Area

    Low glare lighting to highlight the table combines with soft wall washing to draw the eye along the length of the barn. Soft garden lighting to prevent black glass effect through the large double height windows.

  • seating area

    Decorative lighting is an important element of all our schemes to blend with the architectural lighting.

  • Study lighting

    A double height area above the desk is uplight to reflect light back onto the working area in a study. Low level lighting is provided by a small table light.

  • Basin lighting

    The lighting punches light onto the basin to provide strong reflected light whilst also maintaining the dark effect of the rest of the bathroom.

  • Bedroom lighting

    Small paintable uplights discreetly highlight the beautiful Astrid & Rudolf wallpaper, where ceiling lighting was impossible in this bedroom.
