Curved windows in sleek skyscrapers look great, but are nearly impossible to dress…
Reflections glare off other buildings gleaming in the downtown cityscape…
Folks walk past on the street, creating moving shadows…
Completely different lighting conditions crop up on a December morning vs. a July afternoon in the same spot…
These are just a few of the challenges that lighting experts face when designing corporate studios.
More and more companies are building studio spaces for a variety of uses – presentations, video, audio, streaming, board meetings, and even commercials shoots.
And the professionals tasked with getting the lighting just right are wary they will be stuck with the standard window blinds that work for the rest of the space… But not the studio.
Studios need professional lighting designed by experts. Especially if there are windows in or near the space.
That’s why lighting designers and architects call us at Broadcast Blinds and ask, “Is it possible to control the scrims separately from the blackout shades?” “Can we use PoE lighting from Ikan so there’s less cabling?” “Can we have different levels of light control for different conditions?”
If you’re wondering about challenges like these, the answer is yes! They can all be addressed with proper daylight control.
In fact, after everyone else had told an architect, “Oh no, that can’t be done,” because the windows in the studio bow out in a curved shape, we had the pleasure of saying yes. The right mix of gels, scrims, and shades will work in any space.
In another recent corporate installation, a state of the art studio had been built with a wall of glass along one side. Beyond it was a hallway where staff walked past all day long, and beyond that were windows that let in blazing sunlight. So shadows were visible on set.
A custom installation that fit their unique needs was all it took to make their daylight problems go away with the push of a button.
