Lighting as Visual Composition
For Noah Hawley’s production office, we crafted a lighting design that reflects the expressive, cinematic spirit of his creative work while elevating the architecture and storytelling embedded in the space. Rather than simply illuminating the workplace, the goal was to shape atmosphere creating moments of focus, collaboration, and visual rhythm that evolve with the pace of the day and the creative process.
Warmth Through Material & Color Temperature
To support the studio’s creative atmosphere where ideas are developed, conversations unfold, and stories take shape we specified a warm, layered lighting palette that complements the rich materiality of the space. Wood tones, textured finishes, and curated vintage pieces are enhanced through controlled color temperatures and diffused light sources that soften contrasts and reduce visual fatigue.
Creating Intimacy in Large, Open Areas
Within the production office, expansive rooms with high ceilings house a range of creative environments from a dedicated screening room and writers’ room to a curated film and television library, as well as areas where props and memorabilia (including pieces from Fargo and handcrafted puppets) become part of the spatial storytelling. These generous volumes, while architecturally striking, required lighting strategies that could bring a sense of intimacy and human scale to support focused creative work. At the same time, the design extends downstairs to 26 Keys Letterpress, where handmade cards and printed matter are produced reinforcing the studio’s culture of craft, narrative, and tactile storytelling across different creative disciplines.
