The 1st floor at County Hall was transformed into the marketing suite for the latest London riverside development. DPL designed a high end, luxury lighting scheme to enhance the journey and seamlessly connect the entrance reception, through to the meeting rooms, display pods and finally into the sample suites. Creative lighting solutions catered for both the Grade I listing restrictions as well as the requirement that the entire floor be returned to its original condition once the development has been completed. 

Existing cabling was cleverly reused to bring uplighting, carefully detailed withing the listed panelling to the corridor. The effect was to immediately lift the impression of the space and create corner anchor points to this beautifully presented transition space. Surface spotlights were implemented where existing electrical points allowed – to provide an element of focal light in each room. However, the general light levels were provided by layers of lighting solutions seamlessly integrated into the joinery pieces, which also cleverly housed a great deal of M&E equipment.
Creative lighting layers detailed into the joinery elements in a fashion that made each piece look individual, bespoke and interesting.
