The Elwood is an exclusive private club in the heart of Newport Beach. Catering to the elite, the luxurious finishes and posh amenities call for the highest level of lighting design and intent. The architectural lighting celebrates the rich interiors and highlights the artwork, shelving and displays. As night falls, the evening mood begins dimming and warming to a soft, golden incandescent ambience that transforms the spaces into luxurious, comfortable and romantic venues and circulation. Architectural uplighting and indirect sources are concealed in coves in a creative and subtle approach to avoid downlighting and create a unique experience for the guest immersed in spaces that inspire awe. The ability to have cleaner ceilings and the challenge of lighting with minimal downward sources still allowed us to meet wattage allowances, even using all warm-dimming sources for an unparalleled hospitality experience.
