One Redcliff Street, Bristol: Corporate CAT B Lighting

The ambitious multi-phased scheme at One Redcliff Street involved ISG comprehensively modernising the entire 14-storey building and remodelling the main reception area, while existing tenants remain in occupation. The scheme was designed to increase net lettable space by over 10 percent to 95,800 sq ft with the construction of a new floor at roof level to create a suite of high-specification meeting rooms. 

Approached by consultants at Buro Happold in April 2015 with an open specification for the 15th floor, we worked closely with the design team from the very early stages. Full lighting design, reflected ceiling plan and calculations for the entire floor were created to support the proposed layout.

299 Lighting also worked alongside the office fit-out specialists Interaction, making sure the office lighting would complement the corporate workplace focused on cross-team collaboration.

In the meeting rooms, Xicato downlights were specified for a clean minimalist look. High CRI of 90+ and smooth dimming has delivered a professional lighting scheme with comfortable ambience. In the breakout space, the slim linear profile Leck was installed in between the wooden rafts in a random pattern. This brings a contemporary and informal feel to the breakout space.

To further enhance the impressive 4.9m diameter main reception desk in the open plan office, the large suspended ring shaped luminaire Ouse was used. It appears to be floating in the space and thanks to its uniquely designed diffuser it can be admired from any angle. The 2m diameter Ouse in matte black finish creates a strong focus point in the space.
