 Lighting Narrative

Day
Throughout the day a balanced
combination of harvested daylight
and supplemental electric lighting
provide the interior illumination for
the Krause Gateway Center. Office lighting
Suspended indirect fixtures
Indirect lighting strategies provide
uniform reflected ambient lighting
and increase perceived brightness
throughout the building. Perimeter Transom Lighting
Indirect ceiling uplight fixtures

Lobby lighting
Suspended direct/indirect fixtures

 Lighting Narrative
Dusk
Building-mounted luminaires
uplight the projecting overhangs to
create a soft glow of ambient light
around the perimeter of the
building and to visually emphasize
the distinctive architectural planes.
Calibrated fixture optics and
aiming illuminate ceiling surface
planes while reducing upward spill
light.
Timeclock and dimming control
enable the exterior lighting to
balance and complement the
surrounding urban environment.

 Lighting Narrative
Evening
Once dark, the exterior lighting of
the building continues to provide a
soft glow of reflected light on the
ground plane as the interior lighting
dims. Accent lighting punctuates
the uniform illumination of the
overhang planes to create specific
visual focal points.
Timeclock and dimming control
continue to balance the lighting
levels of the buildings interior and
exterior with the surrounding urban
environment.

Asleep
During late nighttime hours,
exterior building lighting levels are
dimmed to achieve lower
functional lighting levels to reduce
energy use during off-hours. Perimeter Roof Lighting

Column-mounted Exterior Canopy Uplights
Building-mounted uplights provide reflected
ambient illumination around the perimeter
of the building, contributing to the
functional site lighting.

 Landscape Accent Lighting
Tree Uplights
Accent lighting punctuates the landscape to
creates points of focus and increase
perceived brightness.

Timeclock and dimming control enable

luminaires to operate efficiently and during
designated hours.
