Customized Intelligent Lighting in LOOT | Lutron

LOOT is a multi-use space in Mexico City that serves as an art gallery, a performance theater, offices, a place for private events, a cafeteria, and a bar. The key to this space’s ever-morphing identity lies in its lighting design.

To achieve the lighting needs of both commercial and creative activities in a single place, Paola Jose, owner of SOMBRA lighting design studio, was the first lighting designer in Latin America to create and use a lighting system comprised of Lutron Ketra lighting installation, controlled by Athena.

He talks about the power of light when he describes this project, and how it can be used to build tension or passion. The system comprising of Ketra, Athena, and the Lighting Designer app gave him the power to create anything he wanted including sophisticated lighting scenes and sequences to perfectly complement different artistic visions.

The white walls, ceiling, and floors of LOOT were designed to function as a blank canvas that artists can transform to complement their art. To ensure the space was as flexible and future-proof as possible, a variety of Ketra fixtures were installed throughout the space.

Athena Control System

A Lutron Athena control system ensures that the full power of Ketra’s lighting technology was easy to deploy. The Athena Lighting Designer app puts the ability to easily create the perfect lighting experience for every performance right in the palm of the artist’s hand.
