For the Century house re-design we worked with the interior designers to integrate LED lighting into portions of the interior. Our favorite part was the creation ‘animated fabric’ wall panels, where we brought the panels to life by illumination and animation. The result was a wall of animated dots that would randomly appear within the pattern of the fabric, the animated dots can appear in any colour and respond to sound or user input via a touch screen across the room.
In our recent projects we have ventured for a fusion between digital media and the physical features of a space to give it a changeable atmosphere. We believe that buildings and spaces can express a mood, a tone and an energy level. This we see as the initial layer in creating expressive and informative interiors and facades. Collaboration with Architects and interior designers is essential to our goals, this is how our own design process comes to life.
The ubiquitous nature of LED lighting & digital media have made it as malleable as mortar to the building process, in a sense it is on the way to becoming another building technology.
There are many ways to use light and materials, the latest generation of LED’s allow designers
to have lighting where it was not practical or possible before. Above is a typical light/ materials brief (in this case) showing how light can interact with Lucite.
