Transforming dark classrooms and narrow hallways into a pet-friendly, open and airy office for employees and their four-legged companions is no easy feat. Yet, this is exactly the challenge LRS Architects design team undertook as part of a complete transformation of a 35,000 square foot technical institute campus for Vetsource. Integral to the project, Fluxwerx Notch 2 recessed luminaires were selected by the LRS team to deliver dynamic lobby lighting that fit seamlessly into drywall and the existing grid ceilings of the Vetsource environment.  Josh Partee Specified in various lengths, the unique hollow and narrow aperture of Notch 2 linear recessed luminaires subtly punctuate the lobby ceiling plane, and Fluxwerx Anidolic-extra...

Located in Toronto’s diverse Rexdale neighbourhood, Albion is one of the city’s busiest public libraries. Although the initial plans called for an addition to the existing library branch, it was soon evident that the resulting two-year closure would have a big negative impact on the local community.

Purpose Investments is located in downtown Toronto, Canada. The design of the Purpose offices is inspired by the idea of a line of thought.  The concept of line vs. solid and void, is explored throughout the design in various forms.  The lobby lounge is an area carved out between solids that is knitted together with crisscrossing lines.  It functions as the social hub for the workplace,  offering relaxing, regenerating and collaboration space for the teams. The contrast in finishes – smooth vs. rough, dark vs. light and shiny vs. matte – is echoed in the selection of light fixtures that illuminate the space. Scott Norsworthy All of the specified Fluxwerx Aperture luminaries use LED sources with a colou... More

Edmunds.com Santa Monica “EdQuarters”, located just two miles from the beach and 12 miles from LAX, create a work environment unlike anything else in the L.A. area. All of the specified Fluxwerx luminaries use LED sources with a color temperature range of 3000K to 5700K, and with a CRI of 90-plus. Achieving a contrast ratio of less than 2:1 in the open workspaces and conference rooms not only enabled the project to achieve a glare-free design but also created a power density of just 0.72 watts per square foot, successfully surpassing the project’s energy goals. Benny Chan/Fotoworks Benny Chan/Fotoworks "The central overall concept of this project for Edmunds.com’s new HQ is motion. Architectural fluid shap... More
