Sagewood Senior Living Community: Contemporary Lighting for Senior Living CommunitiesJune 2019

Sagewood Senior Living Community is a resort-style luxury senior living facility, nestled in the heart of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale. Known for its contemporary, southwestern aesthetic, the community provides an inviting and comfortable environment for its residents. The design team at Spellman Brady & Company, renowned for their expertise in lighting for Senior Living Communities, sought to enhance the space with an oversized lighting feature that would reflect the area’s natural beauty while staying true to the community’s architectural style.

To achieve this, the team worked closely with Lumetta, a leader in commercial modern lighting and commercial pendant lighting manufacturers, to create the perfect lighting solution for the lobby space. The goal was to find a fixture that would complement the sophisticated yet casual atmosphere of the community while providing optimal illumination. 

After narrowing down the design options, the team selected the Custom Studio Drum Pendants with an Imperial decorative metal pattern. The geometric lattice design of the fixture, combined with a warm bronze finish, was the ideal choice for the space. With their large scale, these pendants created a striking visual impact, perfectly suited for the expansive double-height rotunda of the lecture hall lobby. 

Each pendant measured 23” OD x 44” OH, featuring a decorative laser cut metal frame wrapped around Lumenate® from the Fiber design palette in an Powder Coat Bronze finish. The large dimensions of the pendants ensured that they provided the right amount of light to fill the space, offering both beauty and functionality. Installing four of these pendants helped to create a well-lit, welcoming atmosphere in the lobby area. 

As envisioned by the design team, these luminaires not only provided the perfect lighting but also enhanced the room’s character, fulfilling all of the design goals for the space. This project was successfully executed with the expertise of Saint Louis Lighting Group, the preferred agency for this remarkable senior living community project.
