Site Lighting for an Urban Mixed Use Plaza Complex

East 54, is a "new urban" mixed use development. The seven acre project
consists of 5 midrise buildings with shops and dining at ground level with luxury
condominiums and offices above a European style pedestrian plaza.
The lighting challenge was to create an environment that was lively to compliment the restaurant
scène yet sedate for the comfort of the residents. The solution was to provide warm soft ambience
and accent the retail and special features.
Located on a main corridor into Chapel Hill the project is adjacent to a championship golf course.
Color selection was carefully considered to provide visual comfort. High pressure
sodium’s warm glow is the general ambient color while fluorescent and metal halide
provide detail. Accent was achieved using ice white LED in the landscape. The
overall effect is soft with sparkle from above yet a lively scene at the pedestrian level.
Ambient lighting by fixtures thirty feet on the façade was designed to fit the
fenestration. At shop level fluorescent wash colorful awnings that flank the plaza. This
light is shielded from the living units above by the awnings. Additional excitement is
created at the pedestrian level by extensive use of LED landscape lighting.
Accent lighting was provided for architectural details
Budget was a major consideration in fixture selection as was ease of maintenance.
As a LEED certified project, energy conservation was significant both for initial
installation and light management. By incorporated timed scene changing controls
including high low ballasts in the wall mounted plaza fixtures, the lighting is
programmed to be reduced after the main shopping and dinner period and reduced
again later in the evening to a night lighting scene comfortable for a residential
setting.
