Inside 60 Penhallow Street, the design marries modern functionality with an homage to Portsmouth's rich heritage. Led by Arcove founder Tracy Kozak, the interior design features a seamless blend of sustainable materials and thoughtful, innovative lighting that complements the building's overall aesthetic. The interior’s design incorporates elements inspired by the region’s boat-building tradition, including mass timber and CLT structural components that minimize embodied carbon.
The lighting throughout the interior is carefully calibrated to highlight architectural features while promoting a welcoming and functional environment. Key areas are illuminated in ways that enhance the natural beauty of the materials, with fixtures chosen to emphasize the texture of the wood and copper elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Transparency and open spaces connect the interior to the bustling surroundings, further enriched by the integration of lighting that guides movement and fosters connection. In addition to enhancing the visual experience, the lighting fixtures contribute to sustainability goals by supporting energy-efficient systems that exceed code minimums, helping to reduce the building’s carbon footprint by 40%.
This combination of modern design, sustainable building practices, and innovative lighting solutions creates a space that is both functional and respectful of its historical roots.
