We were commissioned by Roger Tempest of Broughton Hall to design the lighting for the estate’s prestigious new building, Avalon Wellness Centre. Working closely with renowned designer Patrick Kinmonth we sought to achieve harmonious lit interiors to evoke a sense a relaxation, calm and beauty for the occupants.

The client and designer concept was to take “the source” as inspiration - an infinite orb that connects land and air.

The building is set into the sublime landscapes of Broughton Hall Estate in the Yorkshire Dales. The building has a symbiotic relationship with its natural landscape inviting into its interiors in the form of light, reflection and transparency.

We subtly used the symbol of the circle/orb as an infinite life and light source in various lit forms throughout the building. Natural materials were employed to provide depth, texture and natural warmth. The spaces are bespoke and offer no symmetry but, more organically deliver a soft diffused light where it is required.

Attention was taken to avoid glare and visual disturbance and working with the interior palette produced a cohesive sense of space and calm.
