PUBLIC BUILDINGS
The Mosaico is available in single
or multiple in-line or square
configurations with one to four light
sources that allow for individual
adjustment to achieve the desired
lighting effect. Each of the separate
light bodies can offer different beams
and colours to give both the designer
and user a varied and more interesting
expression of illumination.
The foyer extension for Scottish Opera
at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal was
focused on creating a transformational
experience for audiences, encouraging
wider community engagement and
building a sustainable business for the
future.
The project focused on the audience’s
journey from ‘street to seat’ – on
improved approach, entrance,
intuitive internal wayfinding and
the provision of enhanced audience
facilities. Provision of lifts to provide
full access to all upper theatre
balconies and compliance with
accessibility legislation was an
important driver behind the project,
but also the Client’s desire to literally
‘open up’ the theatre and opera as an
art form by the provision of open and
welcoming foyers to attract a wider
audience.
