DESCRIPTION:

The presence of the trees adds visual excitement to the restaurant environment and provides an iconic reference point within the vast international departures lounge within which it is sited.

Each leaf is individually illuminated, letting the seasonal hues of colour and light play softly across the leaf canopy. Branches with internally illuminated leaves constantly shift in colour to reflect the time of day, the time of year or to even highlight special occasions.

DETAIL:

I helped prepare concept models in the studio testing glare, diffusion, power and data of small sections before fabricators started machining the parts. I later drew up the metalwork enclosure for the distribution and power at the base of the structure.

With colleagues I visited the steel fabricators and worked alongside them pulling cables and sections for a full successful dry run. I was later present for the full air-side build and final signing off of the installation.
