Benaki Museum Pavilion is an architectural lighting scheme for a museum shop and exhibition space. The pivoting iron entrance door holds exhibit cases, and the lighting is integrated into the door structure. Custom spherical fixtures are mounted with magnets and powered by a low voltage circuit carved into the metal, so no cables are visible. Inside, adjustable spots are set in recessed tracks between the wooden ceiling beams. Cove lighting in cool white emphasizes the aluminum foam shelves, and small recessed spots highlight the artifacts.
