Originally home to the Allis Chambers Tractor Division, the client wanted to create an event spaces the paid tribute to this industrial heritage in a modern way. The existing metal trusses were the perfect location for the general illumination track lighting with low glare louvers. This gave the client the ultimate flexibility to mount track heads anywhere along the span, while keeping the main space open to highlight the Edison-style chandeliers. Linear uplighting is also located on the trusses, giving depth to the high vaulted ceiling. The historic cream city brick walls are washed with programmable color changing + white luminaries, giving the client custom scenes and endless colors, creating a truly dynamic space that changes throughout the evening.
