The Terminal Curb Redevelopment welcomes visitors to the SKYXE Saskatoon Airport with its bright and welcoming canopy. This hub serves as a pick up and drop off location for travelers and serves taxis, rideshares and personal vehicles.
Lingard & Dreger is an office designed with layers of light in mind. Granite walls are emphasized with wall grazing lights from LED Linear. A quieter work environment is made possible using sound absorbing lights like the Eureka Mute and LightArt Acoustic Wing 2.0.
MLT Aikins is a growing law firm in Western Canada with 240 lawyers based out of 6 offices in Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and now Saskatoon. Located on the 11th and 12th floors of the east tower at the River Landing development, the design for the space features a colour palette of grey, black and white, combined with wood finishes. The design showcases the spectacular views of the river valley as it winds through Saskatoon.
Lighting throughout the space highlights, rather than overshadows the architecture. FlexTube from Acclaim was used to follow the gentle curve of the glass walls in the Signing Room and Boardroom. Adjustable downlight multiples by Lightheaded are located in the open area, providing flexibility to light artwork where needed. And finally, the suspended linear lights from Axis and Selux provide task level lighting while also complementing the furniture below.
Beginning in 2017, Titan was approached to assist with the exterior lighting for the Brighton Marketplace, a visionary outdoor shopping experience and one of the key features of Saskatoon’s largest master-planned community, Brighton. Developer Dream Homes was looking for a contemporary luminaire which would integrate seamlessly with the modern architecture but still come in on time and on budget. Working together with the owner, contractor, engineer and manufacturers, Titan was able to provide a design solution that integrated the Millenial series from Sternberg Lighting as well as the RSX series from Acuity Brands. The result is a beautiful, well lit site that feels both modern and lively!
Alloy Collision Centre is an automotive shop designed for collision repair, service and detailing. Focused on a positive customer experience, the inviting entrance area features a comfortable waiting area with coffee bar. Adjacent is the elegant showroom showcasing the WYANT Group’s impressive private vehicle collection which required crisp white light with high center beam illumination JUNO track lights. In the center between the two areas is an elevator shaft and stairwell that became an important feature in the design. Vertical strips of light by DELTA LIGHT had to appear to flow naturally with the perforated metal that wrapped the concrete elevator shaft. This light also served as general lighting for the stairway that surrounded it.
Carrying on to the second floor, the dropped perforated metal ceiling clouds utilize the seamless integration of JLC Tech T-Bar Smart Lights which provide light for the space without interrupting the metal grid. The T-Bar Smart Lights were also used in the boardroom where they become invisible when not in use.
The Autobody and Collision shops required the use of sealed light fixtures, bright and uniform shop lights using a mix of strips, vandal resistant lights, low-bays and high-bays.
Lighting control stations with built in preset scenes are located throughout, so the space can go from autobody shop by day to multi-function event space by night!
Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan is a not-for-profit theatre company which has been providing theatrical productions of Shakespeare’s timeless plays right on the Saskatoon riverbank for many years. In 2018, a strategic vision was put forward to expand the existing SOTS site to provide a more permanent home for the company as well as upgrade to a 4 season usage. A schematic plan was developed by the consulting team and in early 2019 Titan Electrical Group in conjunction with Christie Lites Sales submitted a proposal to provide lighting and controls for the new site and was awarded the project.
The site features some of the most dynamic exterior lighting currently installed in Saskatchewan – the large trees flanking the site are lit with color changing lighting, as are the pathways to and from the Amphitheatre. Animated gobo projectors display sponsor logos as well as Shakespeare images and quotes. The Meewasin trail runs through the site and is illuminated with warm white pathway lights which are dimmed when no motion is preseny and brought up to full when pedestrians approach. A large riverside deck is lit with warm white exterior LED tube light integrated into the deck rail and some of the benches.
The main feature of the site however is the new permanent amphitheatre structure. The structure is made up of large precast concrete segments and the project team had to coordinate with the precast manufacturer to integrate color changing LED tape light into each riser segment. These can become part of the stage show and integrate with the theatrical control panel, or revert to the ETC Mosaik site control when no show is taking place. A high degree of granularity was required to achieve both vertical and horizontal motion across the tiers. Additional step lighting was mounted into the steps for egress illumination. These lights are dimmable and also part of the control system.
Beginning in 2019 when the Titan team started to put together the design for our new office, showroom and warehouse space, our intent was to create a space that would be dynamic, inspiring, and help to raise the bar for specifications in the province of Saskatchewan. We had two main objectives: to showcase a wide variety of products and lighting techniques, but to do so in a way that felt cohesive and intentional. By integrating lighting with architectural elements where appropriate, as well as allowing it to shine on its own in other areas, we feel that form and function are both harmoniously represented.
In addition to the lighting design, we also wanted to incorporate a full scale lighting control system to demonstrate the capabilities of our controls design team. Based on the nLight backbone, touch pad scene controllers throughout the space allow occupants to completely change the mood of their environment. Other devices such as nLight daylight and occupancy sensors provide continuous energy savings when spaces are unoccupied or sufficiently lit with daylight.
One of the primary visual elements proposed by the owner was the recessed linear lighting which appears to extend from the interior to the exterior of the main lobby space and serves to highlight the impressive show space at the front of the building. Working with both the owner and architect, we were able to create this stunning visual using Axis Lighting products. Additional exterior linear graze fixtures highlight the brickwork running the full height of the building.
The 2nd floor Boardroom and Lounge space were also key areas that the owner wanted to highlight. The large boardroom table is impressively lit with Dyson Lighting pendants and recessed LED downlights around the perimeter, and linear lighting from the showroom space gently extends into the boardroom as well, linking the two spaces together.
The large overlapping rings in the Lounge were another key element, echoing the round seating configuration below and providing a soft, diffuse lighting.
Controls within the space include time clock control, single touch “on/off” for the entire building, and touch screen controls for the executive spaces on the 2nd floor.
The Acuity Brands offering of exterior lighting fixtures was the primary choice of BMW for their new location in Regina SK. The DSX offered a wide range of distribution optics that allowed for an even distribution showcasing their new vehicles at the newly constructed corner lot while keeping the light off the nearby main streets. Architectural mounted fixtures were also used to highlight the modern design of the building at night while blending in during the day.
