Robert Singer & Associates Residential Portfolio Vol. 4

THE RIDGE RESIDENCE This high end spec home spares no expense in creating a contemporary home that compliments its mountain surroundings. Architectural details throughout the home created opportunities for integrated light while some architectural elements required close coordination to ensure the light enhanced the space. Without owner input the home needed to have flexibility both in style and layout. Downlights were used throughout the home to reduce glare while ensuring the maximum adjustability of the fixtures. Each space focused on creating layers of light; ambient, task and accent all contribute to the overall feel of a room. Linear uplighting highlights the craftsmanship of the wood ceilings, and creates a warm glow in the plaster ceilings. A lighting control system is used in the home and allows realtors an easy mode to show and turn off the house as well as providing the future owner with a number of scenes for both the common areas and bedrooms.

The focal point of the entry is the continuous barrel that is lit consistently from the exterior to interior and back out with a linear indirect cove light. Fixtures are centered down the length of the barrel allowing the fireplace and any future sculpture or artwork to be lit.
