In the Bronx, New York, the Asian fusion restaurant Shanghai Red has become even more of a standout thanks to a recent lighting overhaul by Tirso Lighting.
The goal was to upgrade the restaurant’s ambiance to match its already sophisticated decor. This article explores how Tirso Lighting successfully achieved this by focusing on specific areas within the restaurant.
Behind the Scenes
Our team works tirelessly to ensure that each lighting element is perfectly integrated, enhancing the space’s ambiance and highlighting its unique architectural features. The process showcases the seamless blend of technical expertise and artistic vision that defines our approach, ultimately transforming venues like Shanghai Red into visually captivating and inviting spaces.
Solutions
Bar Facade Lighting: To accentuate the bar’s front, we installed LED strip lights that provided a soft, even glow. This helped in making the bar a focal point without overpowering the surrounding decor.
Bar Bottle Display Lighting: Special attention was given to the bottle display area. Backlit LED panels were used to create a halo effect around each bottle, making the display not only functional but also a striking visual element.
Cove Lighting:
Bar and Dining Areas: The cove lighting in these areas was designed to offer a gentle wash of light, enhancing the overall ambiance and complementing the chic decor. By using dimmable LED lights, we provided flexibility in adjusting the lighting to match the time of day or the event being hosted.
Private Dining Area: The lighting in the private dining area was designed to be slightly more subdued, offering a more intimate environment. The cove lighting was strategically placed to highlight the artwork and architectural features, enhancing the exclusive feel of this space.
The Outcome
The project at Shanghai Red showcases how effective lighting design can transform a space, adding depth and character while maintaining harmony with the established aesthetic. Tirso Lighting’s approach ensured that each area within the restaurant was both beautifully lit and functional, contributing to an enhanced dining experience for every guest.
