Contemporary Residence Interior Lighting Design Tulsa, OK

It is always a pleasure to work with a classic architectural firm like Jack Arnold Homes Tulsa, OK. Jack is an exceptional architect and this was my first opportunity to light one of his projects. I was contracted by DES of Rogers, AR to create a lighting design plan for this contemporary residence in Tulsa, OK. The client requested I only create lighting design plans for the public areas of the house. That is typical when a client wants to reduce the lighting design fee expense. The interior architecture has very clean lines and I did not want to clutter the ceiling with recessed cans. I wanted to use the ceilings as a light reflector. The kitchen upper cabinets did not go to the ceiling so I used the upper cabinets to house linear LEDs to reflect light off the ceiling. To balance that light I suggested the owner add a shelf extension to the breakfast room ceiling for installation of another linear LED. This balanced the LED up-lights in the kitchen and lit the room. This allowed me to add accent lighting to feature the architecture. I did the same up-lighting technique in the living room with sleek contemporary wall sconces to light the ceiling wooden beams. The reflected ceiling light accents the wood beams and minimizes the need for recessed cans to light the room. The recessed lighting is used to accent art, furnishings and architectural features.
