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 10 ft x 45 ft artificial twin skylight.
This was backlit by colored cold cathodes to provide even, low-maintenence
illumination to simulate the colors of the natural sky. The
individual cold cathodes and the other lighting is systems are
controlled using a Futronix Enviroscene
digital scene
dimmer.
The Enviroscene has a built-in time clock which automatically
fades between 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 ambient levels of light in the
interior. |
