Category A Fitout

RIDI Group has had a major role in the refurbishment of 1FA. The iconic grade II listed building originally constructed in the 1980’s by Arup Associates has undergone a change from single tenancy to mixed use. Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects oversaw the re-development for British Land and selected RIDI-LINIA for the majority of the internal lighting. The result is a successful mixed usage space with retail, leisure, and flexible co-working. The lighting system needed to be adaptable and appropriate for such a project.

Category A – installation

The entire building was lit with the RIDI LINIA system which is a product used for both industrial and commercial buildings. Supplied in black finish, the product looked both modern and technical for what is a completely stripped back exposed services space. The LINIA system was supplied with the MPS low-glare luminaire modules to provide office compliance together with exceptional efficiency and performance. RIDI supplied over 6000 of these luminaires onto its proprietary pre-wired trunking system. The system also fed the centrepiece atrium lighting that consisted of over 200 special versions of Spectral Iris to create a pixel effect at high level.
