SOMERSET MALL SKYLIGHT


SOMERSET WEST | WESTERN CAPE

The bespoke Somerset Mall Skylight luminaire traces the full 13-metre diameter circular skylight, forming a precise halo of light that follows the geometry seamlessly. The curved, segmented design integrates ambient and accent illumination, transforming the fitting into a structural design element while reinforcing the skylight as the architectural focal point.

 

Installation presented several on-site challenges. The significant mounting height required careful access planning and sectional assembly. In addition, the luminaire had to be fixed into an existing recessed detail, demanding exact dimensional accuracy and tight tolerances to ensure a clean integration without compromising the architectural finish. The segmented construction allowed for controlled installation and precise alignment within the recess.
