LightForm: Unboring Project – The Flamingo, A Mid-Century Revival in Surrey, BC

Reviving a story that already exists is a compelling undertaking, especially if that story is steeped in nostalgia and reinvention. The Flamingo Project in Surrey, BC draws inspiration from the original Flamingo Hotel that once stood in the same spot. It was a mid-century modern destination that opened in 1955. Once known as a stylish place for a Friday night dinner, the hotel eventually faded with time and into disrepair. Its spirit, however, lives on in this new interpretation.

Mac’s II Agencies: Lighting Project Highlight – Behind the Light of SDA

When lighting is done right, you often don’t notice it — it just feels right. That was the case in the SDA (Seventh Day Adventist Church) office, designed by Site Lines Architecture. The goal was simple: create a space where natural wood and DLT [Dowel Laminated Timber] ceilings take centre stage, and the lighting quietly enhances the architecture without calling attention to itself. Mac’s II Agencies sat down with Jordan Maddox, Partner and Interior Design Lead at Site Lines Architecture, to dive deeper into the thought process behind SDA’s lighting design, uncover the challenges, and explore the solutions that made this office both functional and visually striking.

Prolux Lighting & Controls: Lighting Project Highlight – The Westin Pool, Calgary

Lighting natatorium environments requires fixtures that can withstand humidity, chemicals, and demanding conditions, without compromising the architectural design of the space. For this project, the team specified the LumenWerx VIA2 Seal above the pool with a natatorium finish, designed specifically for high-moisture environments. Traditional natatorium fixtures are often large and bulky to ensure durability, but the VIA2 Seal offered a more refined solution. With its small aperture and clean profile, the fixture could be integrated directly into the wood ceiling, allowing it to visually disappear while still delivering the rugged performance required for the space. To maintain a consistent lighting language throughout the facility, the standard LumenWerx VIA2 was also used in the adjacent fitness area.

LightForm: UNBORING PROJECTS – The Edge at The Rise Resort – Lighting a Destination Above Okanagan Lake

Perched high above Okanagan Lake in Vernon, BC, The Edge Restaurant at The Rise Resort was envisioned to be a destination.

Concept Illumination: Lighting Project – Maisonneuve Terminal – Significant Improvement in Nighttime Visibility

Termont Montréal Inc., operator of the Maisonneuve Terminal at the Port of Montreal, mandated Concept Illumination to modernize the site’s outdoor lighting system. As a busy maritime hub governed by strict safety and operational standards, the terminal required a solution that ensured long-term compliance with the Canadian Labour Code while improving reliability, lowering energy consumption, and reducing light pollution. To identify the optimal approach, Concept Illumination carried out a detailed assessment of the existing infrastructure, including the masts, mounting arms, and operational flows across the terminal. This informed a design solution that replaced the fixtures while reusing the existing structures, validated through photometric analyses based on two extreme operating scenarios: a fully empty terminal and one at maximum container capacity.
