A Workplace, Reimagined The modern workplace is an expression of an organisation's identity as much as a place to work. At CONA Services' Atlanta headquarters, Gensler reimagined the existing office as a vibrant environment that supports a range of workstyles while reinforcing the company's culture through thoughtful planning, bold graphics, and carefully selected materials. The refreshed interior balances openness with moments of focus, creating spaces that encourage interaction without compromising comfort. Working with Lighting Associates, the team used Fluxwerx luminaires for this project. The luminaries complement the architecture with a restrained visual presence while delivering exceptional performance. Specified at 90 CRI with a 3500K colour temperature, the lighting faithfully renders materials, finishes, and graphics, allowing the richness of the interior to remain true to the designer's vision. Portal Surface and Portal Pendant luminaires establish a consistent visual language across collaboration spaces, circulation paths, and informal gathering areas. Their minimal form integrates quietly into the architecture, while a wide beam distribution provides generous on-centre spacing and soft, uniform illumination that enhances openness without visual distraction. Within focused work areas, suspended View luminaires in black powdercoat finish introduce another layer of refinement. Detailed with Radius endcaps that echo the curved forms found throughout the interior, the luminaires contribute to the project's cohesive architectural language. Their 20 Up | 80 Down distribution balances comfortable task illumination with gentle ceiling brightness, creating visually comfortable workspaces that support concentration while reinforcing a sense of spaciousness. Working alongside Gensler on the CONA Services headquarters was a masterclass in how lighting can elevate a space without demanding the spotlight. By pairing Fluxwerx's minimalist profiles with precise optical performance, the lighting quietly reinforces the architecture, creating a beautiful and vibrant workplace. - Ross Bogue: Director, Business Development, Lighting Associates Georgia Rather than becoming a feature themselves, the lighting supports every aspect of the interior experience, bringing depth to materials, reinforcing spatial hierarchy, and contributing to a comfortable visual experience. The result is a workplace that reflects CONA Services' evolving culture: flexible, collaborative, and distinctly contemporary, where architecture, interior design, and lighting merge to create an environment that is both highly functional and deeply connected to the people who use it every day.

GrazeElite gives one of downtown Phoenix’s most prominent venues a bold new nighttime identity Situated at the heart of downtown Phoenix, the Phoenix Convention Center is one of the city’s most significant civic venues. The building’s scale and architectural character make it one of the area’s most visible landmarks. As part of the City of Phoenix’s ongoing commitment to creating a cohesive, safe and visually engaging city center, the venue became a clear opportunity to establish a new nighttime presence that could stand alongside the established lighting of other prominent downtown sites. The goal was to use exterior architectural lighting to draw out the building’s form after dark, improve safety and visibility along surrounding streets, and contribute to a cohesive and visually engaging city center. The installation also needed to be built for longevity, capable of withstanding Arizona’s demanding climate while delivering consistent, high-quality output for years to come. Having worked with Color Kinetics on previous installations throughout the campus, the City of Phoenix had confidence in both the quality of the product and the longevity of the investment to select GrazeElite luminaires for this project. Fifty GrazeElite Powercore luminaires were installed at ground level around the exterior of the building, spaced between one and two meters (3-6 feet apart). The luminaires throw light upward approximately 18 meters (60 ft) to illuminate the architectural steel at the top of the structure. GrazeElite produces twice the light of comparable luminaires while Chromasync Pro technology maintains accurate, consistent color across every fixture, perfect for this long-throw application. Its rugged aluminum casing and tempered glass construction ensure lasting performance in Arizona’s demanding climate. The full system is controlled via iPlayer 4 with power and data supplied by Data Enabler Pro gen3, giving the venue the flexibility to shift colors and scenes for events, celebrations, and citywide moments. Bob Fingerman, Assistant Director of Phoenix Convention Center and Venues, notes: “We installed more than 55 advanced micro LED uplighting fixtures to enhance the Center’s architectural elegance and nighttime identity. The system’s customizable colors not only highlight the building’s form and texture, they also allow us to reflect the spirit of different events and citywide celebrations. It’s a lighting solution that delivers tangible functional benefits, bolstering safety and visibility, while also enriching the visual experience for both visitors and the downtown Phoenix community.” Client: City of Phoenix Lighting Design, Integrator & Contractor: City of Phoenix Representative: Michael Moffet, Allied Group Sales Photo Credit: City of Phoenix

Located at Assembly Atlanta in Doraville, Georgia, the parking garage at Third Rail Studios blends functionality with architectural appeal. With more than 400 parking spaces for the sprawling television and film production campus, the garage is more than a practical necessity—it’s a distinctive architectural feature visible from the public green space, an amenity offered as a gift to the City of Doraville. The garage’s angular, perforated stainless steel façade creates a striking geometric pattern that takes on a new dimension after sunset. Designed by Dark Light’s Atlanta office, the dynamic, color-changing lighting from Traxon transforms the façade into a vibrant visual feature, powered by an e:cue lighting control system. Using the astronomical clock, real-time clock, and event scheduler in e:cue’s SYMPHOlight software, the system operates automatically throughout the year, adapting lighting displays to scheduled events and seasonal occasions. Through a combination of static color scenes and dynamic, color changing lighting effects, the façade celebrates holidays, rallies support for Atlanta sports teams, and highlights community causes. The result is an engaging nighttime landmark that enhances the campus, complements its architectural character, and strengthens its connection to the surrounding community.
