At each point where visitors must choose direction, accent lighting draws attention: illuminated signage, backlit directories, or spotlit artwork. These create natural pause points for orientation.
Easy
Mid-Range
Approach Detail
Identify all decision points in visitor journey. Add accent lighting at each: 3x ambient level for contrast. Backlight or spotlight directory boards. Illuminate lift buttons and stair entries. Consider floor-level orientation (illuminated floor graphics, low-level cove). Maintain ambient below accent for clear hierarchy.
Key Fixtures
Adjustable accent spots, backlit signage panels, floor-level cove or linear, illuminated elevator surrounds
Designer Notes
Visitor journey as a storyboard, showing accent moments at each decision. The path is clear without explicit instruction. Include accessibility considerations - contrast ratios for vision-impaired.
