Last week, Jesse Prince and Likhitha Rangaswamy from the Seattle Studio participated in the 2024 IES Seattle Scavenger Hunt. What an amazing evening spent exploring the stunning Alki Beach in Seattle, where we raced against time, discovered hidden treasures, and embraced a little friendly competition—all with stunning ocean and Seattle skyline views as our backdrop. There's no better way to strengthen connections than with a bit of adventure! And it doesn't hurt to take home the award for Best Photo (Volleyball on the Beach)! Thanks to the Illuminating Engineering Society Seattle Section for organizing the event, and a huge shout out to our amazing rep Maryam S. E. Taylor, LEED AP, at SeaTac Lighting and Controls, for inviting us. #iesscavengerhunt2024 #glowgetters #iesseattle #illuminatingengineeringsociety

Last month, the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation invited the Oculus team to join in one of their summer wine tasting events, which included a private tour of the Hollyhock House. Oculus had generously supported the Foundation’s efforts to acquire an original sconce at auction to be restored to its rightful place in the Hollyhock House. During our visit, the sconce was finally unveiled, allowing us to see it up close and personal for the first time! Thanks to Fredrik Nilsson AIA, LEED AP for bringing this opportunity to our attention so that we could be included in this exciting initiative. #lightingdesing #lightingdesigners #architecturallighting #architecturallightingdesign #barnsdallartparkfoundation #hollyhockhouse #schindlersconce

The exterior for this creative office building features linear lighting elements, drawing inspiration from the louvered wood ceilings and screens within the interior lobby. Linear fixtures, suspended gracefully from cables between buildings, elegantly illuminates the courtyard while meeting El Segundo’s police lighting requirements. In the exterior courtyard, a linear uplight accentuates a louvered parking screen wall, while on the rooftop amenity deck, up/down sconces cast a soft, warm glow by bouncing light off the wood ceiling. Additionally, vertical linear lights on the side elevations enhance the building’s nighttime presence, beautifully complementing the adjacent retail center.

The 25,000 sft renovation of Universal Music Publishing Group’s new offices exemplifies the creative and contemporary artists it represents through playful lighting. Glowing linears curve along the corridors, providing general downlight and amplifying open workspace areas with glowing uplight. Tucked away in private lounges, the texture of decorative pendants compliments each room’s unique interior design. Opening into the central atrium that is washed with daylight, additional lighting illuminates a live tree with glowing globes hidden within its branches for a subtle sparkle.

Overlooking Folsom Lake, this custom home seamlessly marries contemporary elegance with natural elements. Subtle cove lights above the window mullions trace the architectural lines, emphasizing the home’s clean design and casting a warm glow on the wood ceilings. Chandeliers hang like suspended sculptures, paying homage to the Client’s creative background, casting captivating patterns across the room. Facades, water features, and decks come alive with strategically placed lights, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Oculus Light Studio reposted this
I am honored to have been featured in designing lighting magazine's "Up Close With" series, which spotlights professionals in the lighting industry. Sincere thanks to Randy Reid for including me and to Shirley Coyle for taking the time to explore the trajectory of my 27-year career in lighting design. Throughout our conversation, we delved into the core values that have guided my professional journey: humility, fearlessness, and respect. These principles have been instrumental in fostering collaborative environments and nurturing effective teamwork, enabling us at Oculus Light Studio to deliver exceptional solutions that illuminate and enhance spaces. Plus, the _real_ reason why I decided to study architecture. <- hint, the answer is in the spelling... haha, jk! Grateful for the opportunity to share my experiences and insights with the broader lighting community. Comments are welcome! https://lnkd.in/gvJiYyK7
