Designed interior and landscape lighting for a new 80,000 sq. ft. house, set on a very high plateau overlooking Beverly Hills and beyond, planned for entertaining both the family of 9 and their friends with the same. 15’ h. ceilings of white oak planks meet walls of oak planks, bound by full-height sliding glass pocket doors, which disappear giving the “tree house” it’s open, voluminous spaces. Recessed downlights have tiny 2.5” diam. trimless square apertures for highlighting both art and tables for board games, and most rooms are ambiently lit by recessed, baffled slots hiding linear fluorescent or LED strip lighting for subtle, energy efficient and dimmable washes onto the vertical surfaces. Site lighting includes custom gaslight sconces and table lamps for enjoying the movement of open flames on the Bahama Blue Limestone facades, as well as a silhouetted water channel for showing the white lotus flower shapes reflecting in the glass pool enclosure. An interior Atrium is capped by a rounded skylight grid, & fixtures mounted out of site on the roof criss cross the structure, catching various parts of the support beams in a "fractured star" lighting display.
