FROM TH E PR ESID EN T

2011 – 2012 Board of Directors

his issue of the Desert Design Magazine is here to shed a little light on design solutions. (Bad pun intended.) Lighting has a major impact on how your fabulous design concept is perceived. No matter how perfectly you have executed your design concept, without the right lighting, your room could fall flat. Lighting is an integral part of how a room tells its story. There are many factors to consider when designing a lighting scheme, not limited to: function, style, color, energy, and budget. It takes collaboration, creativity, and experience to transform a concept into a built environment. Clients don’t understand the process, but they do appreciate the results. We all know the three types of lighting: ambient, task, and accent. Combining them professionally to layer a room with light will successfully complete your design. Ambient alone is hollow and clinical. Task lighting without ambient will create hotspots and distract from major design elements. Accents will draw the eye, but cannot functionally light a room for general use. Function is the number one purpose of lighting. Lighting can be purely functional; however, it also influences the mood of a room. A brightly lit room projects a positive, upbeat mood. A darker room is more intimate and romantic. One mistake many clients make in lighting their homes is to have only one extreme or the other. That is where an educated designer can make a major difference. There’s much more to lighting a room than just determining whether you have enough light for your task. Consider how and when the room will be utilized. Does it require different lighting levels for different times of day? Will different tasks be performed? Do elements in the room deserve to be highlighted? By planning a great lighting arrangement for the space, it will ultimately be more functional while also creating just the right ambiance. Aesthetics and scale of lighting fixtures can either support or detract from the overall design of the space. However, the very best lighting design is the one you don’t notice, because it doesn’t call attention to itself. Light a room so effectively that no one notices whether you’re using florescent or incandescent lights, track lighting or standing lamps – they’ll notice only that the room feels comfortable, and that they want to come back again. DD Create Your World! Tracey Marshall, ASID President 2011-2012

FROM TH E Editor

DESERT ESIGN

have been sitting in front of my PC for many hours after having read through most of the material forwarded to me for inclusion in this issue of Desert Design Magazine. Yes, the feature articles are about lighting and how that segment of design is an essential component to the work of interior designers. As we read these articles and others, we can see that lighting and other facets of design truly make differences in people’s lives on a daily basis. Lighting provides functional and aesthetical elements in the built environment and beyond. The “beyond” is what I wish for readers to find in these pages. For instance, some of discussions on lighting are concerned with energy efficiency, that is, how lighting elements impact our lives, how long they will last and function in people’s homes and offices. These types of concerns should be addressed with all of our selections for clients’ interiors. The most poignant segment in this edition of Desert Design Magazine to me relating to the “beyond” is from Jill Stebbins’ article titled “The Art of Social Responsibility”. Talking about how some of our chapter’s members are working with UMOM, Jill said: “The fundamentals of interior design are about enhancing lives and that means serving everyone, especially the homeless. It is crucial to show that good design can go beyond high-end, luxury homes. There is a need for good design solutions that actually change people’s lives.” Let all of us in this chapter do exemplary work with a positive impact on aesthetics and the environment, whether it’s through our interaction with each other, our clients, or our volunteerism.

MEETING RECAPS January Membership Meeting

he Baker and Ann Sacks showrooms were the stunning backdrop for the January Chapter membership meeting featuring a discussion of the “beautiful “side of Universal Design. Michelle Fray, of Kohler, explained to the more than 100 ASID members in attendance that both ADA compliant and Universally Designed plumbing fixtures can provided extra stability, ease of use, and comfort without compromising beautiful design. Michelle noted that demand for universally designed plumbing fixtures is being fueled by Baby Boomers, the name given to the generation of Americans who were born in a “baby boom” following World War II. Michelle believes this aging segment of the population will become a huge market for designers. These potential customers, she says, are both product savvy and have tremendous buying power that will continue to influence the plumbing industry in the years ahead. ~ Deb Allen, Allied ASID

March Membership Meeting

he March membership meeting was held at the bright, colorful showroom of Design Within Reach in Scottsdale. Gabe Holland, showroom manager, gave a quick, witty account of contemporary versus modern design and how to use modern in every settings. Who knew you could mix 18th century antiques with a quirky modern chair? Gabe also explained the DWR 3D room plan available online to all designers for use in designing with Design Within Reach products. The designers in attendance thought this was a great tool for them. Also on hand was Mary Wolfe, Spinneybeck Leather sales representative, to talk about using leather (especially colored leather) on furniture, walls, and even floors! Thank you Design Within Reach for hosting our March meeting in such a fitting space. DD ~ Ellen Bosco, ASID Director at Large

ove was in the air… that is, if you love the exquisite fine knotted area rugs found at Alyshaan Fine Rugs in the Scottsdale Design Center! The February membership meeting was hosted by Alyshaan, a third generation, multinational operation that has been serving our design community since 2001. Saeed and Sameer Aslam gave an entertaining and informative presentation that included knowledge that had been handed down from Saeed’s father who began importing and manufacturing fine rugs from India and Pakistan to the United States in 1975. The presentation began with the history of area rugs and included information on wool types, the dying process, types of weaves, and the finishing process …all accompanied by a slide show of beautiful images showcasing the labor intensive process. The program concluded with a description of Alyshaan’s state of the art custom rug program. With the use of their online software, never again will our clients need to compromise on size, color, or pattern. The family business is truly a labor of love…a love that we can share with our most discriminating clients when it’s time to specify that perfect wool area rug. Thanks to the Alyshaan family for sharing their extensive knowledge and expertise. ~ Deb Allen, Allied ASID

day jobs, personal struggles, and stress to make this a huge success!! I received such positive feedback from clients that had great experiences with their assigned designer. Along with raising money for scholarships and education, we educated the public on what a designer can do for them at a discounted rate. This education often resulted in a two hour consultation turning into a full blown contract. What a bonus! This year we had 43 designers sign up, and a total of 143 clients faxed, e-mailed, or even sent in their applications by snail mail. They waited patiently for their assignments and were truly excited about getting the opportunity to work with a designer on a number of home projects from kitchen and bath remodels to furniture selection, lighting, art placement, window treatments, flooring options, and of course color! Thank you for all your hard work!! DD

The Art of Social Responsibility, By Design By J ill Stebbin s, Alli e d A S I D P rof essio nal De velopme n t Direc tor

SID chose UMOM (United Methodist Outreach Ministries) for its 2011/2012 Community Service Project. UMOM strives to be the leader in breaking the cycle of homelessness by providing homeless families and individuals with safe shelter, housing, and supportive services to assist them in reaching their greatest potential. Founded in 1964, UMOM is the largest homeless shelter for families in Arizona and their programs include: New Day Shelters; Next Step Housing; Domestic Violence Shelter; Watkins Basic Needs Shelter; and Wellness Center – Child Development Center. UMOM knows that volunteers are the heart of their mission as they strive to end the cycle of homelessness and build a bridge to self-sufficiency. Admittedly, they state that “they exist entirely through the generosity of individuals within the community.Through the giving of their time and talents, volunteers help homeless men, women and children find hope in the future.” With that spirit in mind, Tracey Marshall, ASID President, Cindy Lewton, ASID President Elect, and Jill Stebbins, ASID Professional Development Director met with UMOM Director, Darlene Newsom, to discover priority areas where the highest impact would benefit the most families. Four committees of volunteers were formed to redesign four vital areas

Jeanette Knudsen, Allied ASID, Principle of Design For A Lifespan, was the project manager who oversaw the endeavor to assure branding cohesion, material compatibility, and budget optimization. These socially minded designers devoted their expertise to this project and invited vendors and peers to facilitate its completion. The fundamentals of interior design are about enhancing lives and that means serving everyone, especially the homeless. It is crucial to show that good design can go beyond high end, luxury homes. There is a need for good design solutions that actually change people’s lives. Although the project may take up to two years to execute due to the time it takes to raise the necessary funds, UMOM has set priorities to eventually be able to install all of the designs that ASID has recommended. Proceeds from what ASID has raised through UMOM bracelet sales and cash donations have gone straight to the ASID redesign project.

EYE ON DESIGN By Lin da J. Barkman, Editor , P h o e n i x H o m e & G a r d e n ASID In dustry Partne r

It’s a Dog’s Life

Art Holeman

have an empty space inside myself that can only be filled by a dog,” famed journalist and film critic Roger Ebert writes in Life Itself — A Memoir. “Dogs remember every favor you ever did for them and store it in a bank titled Why My Human Is a God.” Based on the attention to the needs of Man’s Best Friend that I am seeing in homes, it is clear that this sentiment is being embraced whole-heartedly. Take the master bedroom, for example. When beds with legs became popular and mattresses increased

Desert Design spring 2012

in thickness, their top surfaces became further away from the floor and adorable pet ladders designed to blend with other furnishings in the room became a must-have amenity. For those who prefer that their pets sleep in beds of their own, designer styles—sometimes with such features as tufted cushions, scrolling ironwork and gracefully arching canopies—became the perfect solution. Now dog-loving clients are putting a new spin on creature comforts by challenging architects and designers to come up with unique solutions to other needs of their cherished pets. And the style of the home, along with the materials used, are important considerations. Following are some examples: • Interior designer Jo Hale, Allied ASID, designed a VIP doggie door for a client’s Yorkshire terriers: To keep the portal from looking like an eyesore in a pretty room with Euro-style decor, she used leftover materials from remodeling the home’s master bath to create a tumbled mosaic travertine surround capped with a mini travertine arch. • While designing a Spanish Colonial Revival residence for a client in Paradise Valley, architect Mike Higgins came up with the idea of claiming space under a stairwell to create canine sleeping quarters for the owner’s pair of Labs. The indoor doggie den is equipped with comfy beds, air conditioning, ventilation, and an open-work wrought-iron gate (see picture). • Other examples of pet-friendly ideas include a Contemporary home with a sleek stainless steel-lined doggie shower in the laundry room; a laundry room with a pull-out food bin embellished with a cut-out in the shape of a dog bone; a pet door opening to a walled dog yard complete with faux grass; a replica of a mini fire hydrant, and a grillwork “roof ” to prevent attacks from predators. Design decisions, such as these, are driven by a growing desire for highly-personalized features that will be aesthetically pleasing, increase efficiency, reduce maintenance, and offer long-term value. Fortunately, a plethora of products is available, and there will always be a need for great design solutions for pets and people alike. DD

Goodbye, Watts.

Hello, Lumens.

The New Way To Shop For Light By Eric Berkey, Hinkley’s Lighting

As of January 1, 2012, the traditional, inefficient 100-watt incandescent light bulb does not meet new efficiency standards set forth by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), and will no longer be available at most stores. A vast misconception about the EISA is that the government has “banned” the sale of the traditional incandescent bulb as we know it. No bulbs are specifically banned, but the minimum efficiency standards in the EISA are high enough that the incandescent light bulbs most commonly used by consumers today will not meet the new requirements. The Act will essentially eliminate the 40W, 60W, 75W, and 100W medium screw base light bulbs between 2012 and 2014. The new efficiency standards of the EISA require certain light bulbs to consume approximately 20-30% less electricity (watts)

Desert Design spring 2012

for the amount of light produced (lumens). The second tier of the Act will take effect in 2020 and require 45% greater efficiency than today’s bulbs. The most important point to understand is that the EISA is not a “design” standard, but is rather a “performance” standard. While a design standard may have been prescriptive about what technologies should be banned, a performance standard focuses on the service of the product. In this case, the EISA establishes a minimum requirement around the amount of light delivered per unit of energy consumed, thus leaving manufacturers free to devise creative solutions with products to meet the standards. Notable exceptions to the Act include decorative candelabra base bulbs, three-way bulbs, shatter resistant, and many other familiar household bulbs. The focus of the EISA is to reduce energy

usage in this country, and as the traditional incandescent bulb delivers 90% of its energy as heat, it was only a matter of time before this issue reached a legislative body. The incandescent bulb that has been in use since Edison invented it, now more than 130 years ago, will give way to many choices, including newer “hybrid” incandescent bulbs. The improved 100w lamp will now have to operate at 72watts and provide a comparable amount of light (see chart), and possibly last up to three times longer. This increased brightness at fewer watts is most frequently accomplished using halogen technology. Many of the halogen incandescents are the same familiar pear shape that we view as the iconic shape of a light bulb, being outwardly almost identical to the old incandescents. Some current alternatives: Halogen Incandescent • about 30% more efficient than traditional bulbs • similar to traditional incandescents with halogen technology • lifetime about 3000 hours • familiar shape CFLs • use about 75% less energy than traditional incandescents • options for brightness, color, and size much better than earlier versions • some dimming options available, although limited • priced higher but short payback • contains mercury, but generally less than 5mg LEDs • use about 80% less energy than traditional incandescents • lifetimes as high as 25 years • rapidly evolving technology • options for brightness, color, and size much better than earlier versions • expensive, but prices will drop as technology evolves Manufacturers have also finally begun to listen to the clamor of lighting professionals that our clientele, particularly residential, want color temperatures (Kelvin) that are warmer and more in line with incandescents. A great deal of early compact fluorescent and LED bulbs cast a cold bluish light, making food and people look somewhat embalmed. Fortunately, new products are emerging daily in response to that outcry, not only with warmer Kelvin temperatures (2700K-3000K) but with much higher color rendering indexes (CRI), a scale that evaluates the actual quality of the light being produced. Because more efficient technologies use less watts, a major shift for the consumer is to now consider lumens (brightness) not watts (energy used) when selecting bulbs. New labeling on light bulb packaging, also required at the start of this year, will emphasize the bulb’s brightness as measured in lumens, rather than a measurement of watts. The reasoning is, since a 13-watt compact fluorescent, a 5-watt LED, and a 60-watt incandescent lamp may all produce the same amount of light, the use of watts is no longer a barometer of what amount of light you will receive. After all, we typically buy things based

on how much of it we get, right? When buying apples, we buy them by volume (pounds). So, why should light be any different? For decades, we have been buying light bulbs based on how much energy they consume (watts) – no matter how much light they give us (lumens). It will take a fair amount of re-training for the public to think about lumens instead of watts when selecting light bulbs (see chart for equivalencies). That is why the new “Lighting Facts” label is appearing on light bulb packages. Graphically based on the “Nutrition Facts” label on food packaging, the lighting facts label will provide information about: • brightness • energy cost • the bulb’s life expectancy • light appearance (for example, if the bulb provides “warm” or “cool” light) • wattage (the amount of energy the bulb uses) • whether the bulbs contains mercury In time, the public will adapt, but consumer education is essential.

As an epilog to this story, mainly because of the publics’ misunderstanding of the Act, the House of Representatives recently voted to provide no funding for the Department of Energy to enforce the EISA, in effect leaving its requirements in limbo. The lighting industry’s unilateral response has been to continue moving forward in the development of creative solutions and energy efficient products. As a lighting professional, I celebrate that response, as it truly is the only prudent course to take. In this much more complicated world of lighting options, your projects, as a design professional, will always benefit from drafting a lighting professional as part of your team from the outset. As always, if I can answer any questions or be of assistance to you with your design projects, please do not hesitate to contact me. DD

Illumination

Where to Start? By Robin L. Goetz, Lutron Electronics

There are many ways to illuminate a space or site properly (and unfortunately even more ways to improperly light it). There are three important elements to lighting design: Lamps, control and packaging. 1. Begin by selecting the proper lamps/light bulbs. Knowledge of every type of lamp available to each project is necessary to determine the solution for every need. 2. Control of the lighting is just as important as choosing the right lamp, and there are many types of controls out there today to choose from. In the age of “green,” most people aren’t even aware of how much energy dimming saves while also setting the right mood and ambiance. 3. Knowledge of the “packaging” or fixture that is available for each type of lamp, as well as understanding which products are going to withstand the test of time and handling. It must be pointed out here that an invaluable investment for any project is hiring a Lighting Designer. Working with someone knowledgeable in all three categories above can most effectively provide creative and cost-effective solutions. Lamps are broken down into many different categories by their “type” of light. There is not one that is necessarily better than all others--they all have their purpose in the appropriate application. In fact, it is very common and desirable to mix the sources of light so as to give depth, dimension and composition to a space. Here are some of the most common sources: Incandescent: Provides a warm yellow light that generally spreads in all direction. There are many shapes of the bulb that allow for successful use in many applications including lamps, recessed downlighting, architectural accent lighting and decorative fixtures. Halogen: Provides a crisp whiter, brighter source of light than incandescent. The bulb comes in many shapes and forms that can create a widespread overall general illumination, a tightly focused beam of light, or anything in between. Fluorescent: Originally seen in offices, retail and commercial facilities, fluorescent lighting is regularly used residentially due to green Initiatives. Specified correctly, it has great color-rendering attributes, uses little wattage compared to its light output, and has a very long life. LED: The latest lighting technology and the future of lighting, LEDs can provide sufficient levels of light output

with very low energy input, (up to 75% less energy than standard bulbs), along with amazingly long life. LED is used everywhere, including traffic lights, automotive lights, highimpact feature lighting, cabinet and niche lighting, and now everyday light bulbs. In many applications though, the best products are also the most expensive, so upfront costs can make the use of this source prohibitive unless it can be looked at from a long-term payback solution due to its savings in energy and replacement maintenance. The color of the LED source is another issue that although it continues to improve, must be considered and reviewed in each application and product selection--it is often too blue or ‘cool’ in comparison with other lighting that may be in the area. Dimming LEDs can be tricky; go to Lutron’s LED product selection tool to determine the specific dimmers and corresponding LEDs at www.lutron.com/leds. Dimming: In 1959 Joel Spira, founder of Lutron, invented the solid-state light dimmer, which forever changed the way people look at light. Prior to this, it was mostly a theatrical application. Today, there are wallbox dimmers, lighting control systems that provide dimming throughout an entire house, and with Lutron’s Radio RA2 for instance, you can even dim from your iPad/iPod or Android phone, whether remotely or at home. As well, Lutron’s Radio RA2 allows you to retrofit a whole home without adding additional wiring. Dimming is as necessary as selecting the proper lamps; it not only saves energy (dimming your lights 50% saves 40% in energy), it also exponentially increases the lamp life while allowing the user to set the right light levels to create an ambiance or perform a task. (See Lutron’s interactive energy calculator at http://www.lutron.com/Education-Training/ Tools/Pages/EnergySavingCalc.aspx) Knowing the right dimmer to use is critical. Incandescent, low-voltage halogens, fluorescent and LED are all dimmable…but NOT with the same equipment. DD By Robin L.

Proper

Illumination By David Pritchett, Hacienda Lighting

Planning and designing a remodel of a residential space is an exciting but sometimes stressful event for a designer and their client. When it comes to lighting, it doesn’t have to be. The first thing an interior designer must do to ensure lighting success when planning a remodel is to consult a residential lighting professional at the beginning of a project. Most local lighting showrooms will provide an in home consultation for a refundable fee and work very closely with interior designers on a regular basis. Making use of this resource will ensure that you are aware of any electrical needs and additions that may be required. When remodeling a kitchen, upgrading appliances, installing beautiful new cabinets, selecting that perfect floor tile or granite countertop, and adding or enhancing a kitchen island are all at the top of the shopping list. Lighting needs often are added as an after thought; however, correct or incorrect illumination in your kitchen or any space can make or break the finished product.Your client hand selected that gorgeous granite countertop and selected the glass doors for the cabinets to show off their beautiful dinnerware, stemware or china and they want to be able to see what they are doing when working at the counter. Proper illumination will bring all those wonderful features to life and can be achieved at a reasonable expense. Under cabinet lighting to illuminate the counter top and inside cabinet lighting are the most popular and often the most useful lighting additions. Mini recessed or puck lights are the most popular for inside the cabinet and strip lights are the way to go under the cabinet. Strip lights come in many forms for different applications; my favorite for under cabinet lighting is LED tape light. Tape light is just that - LED’s attached to a strip of 3M adhesive tape. Tape light can be installed quickly and easily, is dimmable and comes in many different color temperatures to suit any application. Another very popular lighting solution in any space is adding recessed can lights in the ceiling. These can be used as task or accent lighting.You may want to install can lights over a kitchen island for improved task lighting, around the

perimeter of a space to illuminate artwork or to bring that beautiful faux finish on your wall to life. Bathrooms are another great place for recessed lighting as long as they are positioned properly in the space. For instance, you don’t want to place a recessed light directly over the head of someone standing at the sink: you want it positioned so that the light will shine on a persons face and not on top of their head. The myriad of choices including size, style, bulb type and wattage This kitchen application features can be daunting, and LED recess lighting, puck lighting a professional lighting under the cabinets, and mini consultant can help you recessed trims over the sink. wade through them quickly and efficiently. Once you have decided what you want to illuminate and how, you must ensure that you have the proper electrical plan. How are you going to get electrical power to the areas that need it? Do you need to add wall switches? What about dimmers? Because you consulted a lighting professional at the beginning of the project you will be better prepared to answer these questions and complete the project on time and on budget.

Environments for Today and Tomorrow

By David Gill, Lights Up Arizona!

Regardless of whether the project is an airport, commercial office space, living room, hospitality project or a house of worship lighting will always be a critical element in enhancing architectural space of any size or use. Certain key factors are necessary in every space to maintain acceptable lighting levels and keep the project interesting while giving it a hint of drama. Downlighting. Downlights, a familiar lighting source, are available from many sources in many shapes and sizes. They are designed to provide a uniform base to which other elements may be added. Downlights can be recessed, surface, pendant or rail mounted. One of the best valued products on the market right now is from Recesso that provides a decorative cover for downlights giving it a new look without touching the electrical. Architectural Uplighting. This is a lighting element that is often forgotten in spaces with high or vaulted ceilings. Many cathedral type ceilings are dark and dingy because they are not properly illuminated. There are several very efficient and high performing uplights that enhance the space and certainly give the illusion of greatness. Another method of achieving uplight with or without drama is from a cove. Typically, coves are illuminated with fluorescent. Color can be added with sleeves that are available in 274 colors. They come in rolls and simply slip on. Not as good as cold cathode but not nearly as expensive either. Wallwashing. Wallwashers are often recessed with kicker reflectors, surface mounted linear or rail attached. They can be installed in any source presently available and is another method of enhancing space. Accent Lighting. Using fixtures for accent is the perfect method to highlight fine artwork, sculpture, tapestry or others items that require attention. This can be accomplished by recessed adjustable, monopoints or rail systems with individual luminaries. Decorative Lighting Fixtures. These fixtures can be either +-completely decorative or multipurpose and provide general illumination as well.

Custom. Custom or standard products that are modified to be semi-custom can be also decorative or used to provide general illumination, accents or downlighting functions. An outstanding example of a very well-planned and executed lighting project in Scottsdale is the Talking Stick Resort, a casino, hotel and convention facility that employs all of the above mentioned elements. Milt Elliott of FFKR Architecture in Scottsdale specified the lighting fixtures. Jonathan Plimpton of Flack + Kurtz in San Francisco executed the lighting design and the majority of the fixtures were supplied by Neidhardt Lighting of Redwood City, CA. The Talking Stick sign at the entrance is a uniform wall washing produced by a series of recessed low-voltage, adjustable downlights which provide uniform foot candles without hot spots. The entrance rotunda is illuminated by a combination of low-voltage, four-inch downlights and a deep blue cove of cold cathode. Decorative custom pendants provide a unique look and also a pleasing general illumination in the circulation space. The combination of warm white in the center cove casts a warm glow for general illumination and helps to eliminate the dark ceiling feeling found in other parts of the space. The Ocean Grill bar has unique red/ blue/ green color changing LEDs that generate a festive feeling. The pre-function space mosaic panels are illuminated with a combination of up and down light sconces with a satin glass that prevents glare and makes the space come alive. Artwork is highlighted with low-voltage adjustable downlights. The atrium space has a pleasing assortment of adjustable downlights and architectural halogen uplights to provide nice layers of light.

The Student Charette is a competition that enables students from all interior design schools to come together with their peers and experience a mock NCIDQ practical exam. They start at 7:00 am and work until 5:00 pm. They are divided into work groups. The goal is to have students from different schools and education levels pair up to form equal and fair teams. The success of the projects can only be accomplished through the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to work with a variety of personalities and working styles. Each team is mentored by an industry professional who answers questions and guides the teams, while allowing them to develop a solution on their own. The end result is a presentation in front of a panel of judges who identify the winners. Cash awards as well as certificates will be awarded at the Student Career Day. It is a rewarding experience of shared ownership of a concept and execution of their vision!
