Follow on Google News | Award-Winning Architecture Lighting Design Showcases Tivoli’s TivoFlex®.Award recognizes Jaqua Center project in A І L - Light & Architecture Design Awards.
By: cindy@cfwevents.com Architectural firm, ZGF Partnership and Lighting Designer Mark Godfrey of Lighting Studio at Interface Engineering Lighting worked together to create a tranquil environment for studying that connected students to the surrounding natural landscape elements and daylight, but also a vibrant and welcoming space as well. The Center was designed specifically to address the academic needs of student athletes. The architectural and lighting design team created a unique learning environment in which the athletes can succeed on and off the field. The building, made of glass, rests on a “table of water” and a birch forest. LED lighting was used for various reasons on the exterior hardscape and landscape. Steplights and long linear runs of TivoFlex® LED product from Tivoli Lighting accent the entry steps, as well as the edge of the reflecting pool. It not only fit with the sustainable design goals of the project, but it also provided the intensity needed on the project. Godfrey comments, “We really needed lighting systems with more focused intensity than traditional luminaire choices. Fluorescent and ceramic metal halide do not provide the combination of smooth linear focused intensity that lighting LED provides.” The flexible LED encased oval-shaped, constant color lens of the TivoFlex provided a perfect water-resistant solution to illuminate the interior and exterior steps of the Center. TivoFlex was incorporated into the design of the entry steps and reflecting pool to create a soft glow of illumination upon entry, as well as to provide safe passage and an elegant pathway around the building perimeter. The superior small profile TivoFlex provided seamless illumination for the exterior and interior steps in a warm white hue that accents the surrounding elements. “The superior color rendition and visual clarity of the low heat LEDs in Tivoflex and their seamless illumination and ability to bend and form to the application, provided us with the ideal solution for this specific application” Award: A I L Lighting & Architecture Award 2011 Category: Whole Building Project: John E. Jaqua Academic Center for Student Athletes, University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.

Uniquely focused on ‘the right light’ – color temperature and output for low ambient cove and niche applications. Most other commercial manufacturers in US are focused on higher output led illumination. Tivoli is focused on low wattage, highly energy efficient, linear led fixtures for accent cove and niche lighting applications. We specialize in small source applications that create the sparkle to delineate a project. Using our expertise with color mixing LEDs for theater lighting we have created incandescent color equivalents and even improvement to incandescent using led color mixes. Lighting is our business, color is our concern. End
