Project: PBS
& J Office Renovation Tampa, Florida Office Designers: Humberto Castillo - PBS &
J Jane
Niesen - PBS & J Giovanna Pinilla - PBS & J The problem was to renovate 6,577 SF of poor lighted
office space with a more creative, maintenance free and energy efficient space while keeping within a conservative budget.

Photo #6 above: Lighting controls through the space
helped reduce the amount of power drawn by the lighting system during operation and also the number of operating hours, therefore
reducing utility charges.

Photo #1
above and the photo #2 below: The lighting concept was to create a new identity with a dramatic first impression and an artistic
character. The open ceiling in the reception have
reflective panels which accent the volume space, reinforce the curvilinear theme, and reflects warm indirect light
from above.

Photo #7 above: The use of direct and indirect
lighting as well as task lighting allowed flexibility to control illumination and reinforce visual comfort.

Photo# 8 above: This new lighting system
is expected to reduce annual maintenance creating efficiency went from 1.24 watts per sq.ft to 0.6 watts per sq.ft.

Photo #9 above and photo #10 below: This
project extraordinarily intermingles natural and high performance artificial light, along with some architectural elements
to create a dramatic effect as well as a harmonic, productive, and energy efficient office environment.

Photo #5 above: Originality of Design included indirect
light fixtures that innovates the space by replacing the old white direct lighting, and by providing comfortable, non-glare,
user friendly general lighting complimentary to computer use. Workstations have low panels with translucent inserts to reflect
the light emphasizing the transparency of the space.
