Rather than monotonous even spacing, fixtures are positioned in rhythmic patterns: clustered near doors, wider-spaced between, or varying in intensity. This creates visual interest and assists wayfinding.
Medium
Budget
Approach Detail
Group fixtures at destinations (doors, intersections). Wider spacing between. Alternatively, vary intensity in sine-wave pattern. Maintain minimum 100 lux throughout. Create cognitive landmarks through light intensity variation. Test wayfinding with unfamiliar users.
Key Fixtures
Standard fixtures with variable spacing, dimmable fixtures for intensity variation, specialty fixtures at key points
Designer Notes
Plan view showing the rhythm pattern. Elevation rendering the experience - bright moment, quiet passage, bright moment. The corridor has narrative, not monotony. Journey as designed experience.
Best For
Long corridors over 30m, spaces where uniformity is legally achievable, design-led environments, wayfinding challenges.
