Project Focus: Amazon Spheres

01

The Spheres provides dynamic lighting conditions to create plays between light and shadow, from the diffused and softer daylight on lower levels to the more direct sunlight on the top level. The complex is designed to serve as a biosphere for an exotic collection of sub-tropical plants while providing casual meeting, dining and presentation space for the client’s staff. WSP Lighting designed the architectural, landscape and horticultural lighting for this unique project. Lighting is designed to highlight the plant based theme by integrating fixtures into the tree limb patterned structural frame and into vertical niches in the core wall. High powered LED sports light fixtures were utilized to provide the light levels required by the project’s horticulturist. The application of horticultural lighting into the architecture combines the art and science of lighting design in elemental ways. The ability to select and tune both the non-visual and visual spectrum of LED light sources allowed us to optimize lighting systems for both plants and humans to seamlessly integrate into architecture.
