Office lighting: putting light to work
Article Abstract:
Interior designers need to consider lighting because good lighting design creates a glare-free, energy-efficient and visually interesting working environment. General lighting is rarely used for the lighting needs of paper-based work and, therefore, it can be designed depending on the interior design and architecture of an office space. Conventional 2-ft-by-4-ft lamps are too bright and waste energy. Combinations of direct and indirect lighting should be used to obtain the environment desired.

Here Here! How your latest/greatest open-plan office is probably a failure
Article Abstract:
An open-plan office setup or cubicle type work station should be acoustically designed to reduce noise disruption. To have an acoustically sound open-office ceilings should always be made out of glass fiber board, the thicker the better; install a masking sound system above the ceiling and panels separating occupants should not be less than five and half feet high. Open-plan office workers all agree that noise is the most common problem in this kind of workplace.

Craig Roeder offices/residence
Article Abstract:
Lighting designer Craig Roeder remodeled a two-story duplex he bought in 1986. The house which was built in 1904, was converted into both a light-filled brick house and an office for his global lighting design consultancy. Computerized lighting was used to show to clients the combined effects of hi-tech lighting and antique furnishings. The work was done with the help of architect Robert Oakes. Roeder plans to redo the kitchen next.
