ST.THOMAS INDIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

OVERVIEW

The purpose of this document is to carry out an
in-depth lighting design exercise to establish
the most appropriate lighting solutions for each
space. Outlining the fundamental principles of
the design as a whole, then breaking each
section down into more detailed sections

LIGHTING DESIGN PRINCIPLES

VOLUME, FEATURE AND TASK LIGHTING

Lighting plays a critical role in creating a practical but at the same time
visually pleasing environment that respects the architectural firm.
Task lighting and Volume lighting should work together to achieve this.
In the St Thomas Church Volume lighting should pick up on vertical
surface and ceiling whilst task lighting should be restricted to the task
plane. Feature lighting will be used to highlight the key architectural or
symbolic elements allowing them to draw one eye and become the
feature of the space.

ZONE BREAKDOWN

ZONE BREAKDOWN

St Thomas Church is broken down into a number of
rooms which each have their own styles and key
features. The following pages will break down each
area and focus on their key characteristics and how
each will be related to one another.

ALTHAR, CHANCEL

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

The chancel of St Thomas Church is a grand space with large
arches and symbolic décor on windows and wooden finish
works. The key principle of this space is to not light everything,
selecting key architectural and symbolic aspects to focus on,
allow the interior to speak for itself. The base principles as
covered previously in this document will be defined in the
following pages to help express each of the key lighting
elements.
