Sketch Series #2::Shane's Rib Shack

Shane's Rib Shack located on Battleground, is mainly lit by recessed lighting throughout the space. The recessed lighting is placed in no particular order, and seems random throughout the space. Within one side of the restaurant, pendent lighting is used in booth areas, which gives more light to this section. This area causes glares and maybe too bright since a couple of light sources are directed in such a small space. The order area uses track lighting to direct light to the menu and also to the cash register. Some of the recessed lighting is used as spotlights in the back of the restaurant, highlighting the history of Shane's, which directs your attention to it. Also around the bathroom area, you are able to see the direct lighting effects on the wall which brings the idea of a lower ceiling, since the ceiling is painted black and disappears. Daylight is also an important light source throughout the day, because the exterior walls is mostly glass. The lighting in this space is ideal for a restaurant, by having enough light to eat and then get out, not making you want to stay there for very long.
