Scott Brownrigg were appointed to be the designers of the interior spaces for Levels 1-5 and they specified Spectral’s Blade system as a key defining part of their integrated design approach.

Blade is exceptionally efficient as a luminaire but also in its acoustic attenuation. Scott Brownrigg artfully designed a rhythm to the ceilings by using continuous version of the Blade system.

By working closely with the engineering team, they were able to maximise sound absorption as well as provide a highly efficient and dynamic lighting scheme as soon as you walk into the spaces.

Steven Anderson from Scott Brownrigg commented: “The Spectral Blade system enabled our team to be more flexible in our approach to the break out space lighting. The uniform level of background lighting created by the Blade system meant that we were able to use more creative low wattage pendant feature lights without being concerned about meeting lighting levels.”

Steven continued: “Suspended between the baffles, we integrated them seamlessly into the design. The Blade system ultimately gave us great versatility as well as the right visual impact – especially in an exposed services environment.”
