KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence
Kelowna, BC
Project Details
The KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence in Kelowna, BC, stands as a tribute to over 50 years of aerospace achievements. The architectural design, inspired by aircraft, is accentuated by strategically placed lighting that emphasizes key features such as the dramatic spiral staircase, grand entrance, and intricately designed ceilings to showcase interactive exhibits and holographic media effectively. A sophisticated lighting control system allows for scene customization based on user needs.
Customized light fixtures complement the local woodwork, enhancing the visual impact of the building’s innovative structural techniques and materials. This thoughtful integration of lighting not only illuminates but also showcases the region’s prowess in design and construction.
