The latest dirt on DIRTT

Resolute is very proud to have our fixtures showcased at DIRTT’s newly expanded Green Learning Center in Calgary, Canada.  Our companies share a like-minded philosophy:  we both strive to provide well-considered, beautifully designed products with a commitment to environmental sustainability.  Further, both companies believe in customizable products built from kits of compatible components — easily adjusted to suit a project’s scope and scale.

DIRTT specified fifteen SMITH pendants and three custom LINTEL beam-shaped fixtures to illuminate several of its new showroom spaces.

The custom LINTEL beams measure 78” x 9” x 9” and 48” x 9” x 9”; environmentally-responsible Carnegie Xorel shade fabric is permanently bonded to opal white acrylic bottom and top diffusers.  The fixtures are suspended by aircraft cables and utilize T5 fluorescent lamps.  Shade fabrics include Xorel Meteor 6427-705, 6427-714, and 6427-751.

A collection of Ø 21” and Ø 28” x 9” high SMITH pendants are covered in the same fabrics.

DIRTT is an award-winning manufacturer of reconfigurable architectural solutions.  DIRTT’s modular wall system is an adaptive approach to rapid construction,  founded on a commitment to lessening the waste stream, carbon footprint and energy use.

DIRTT’s package of solutions includes DIRTT Walls, DIRTT Power, DIRTT Networks, DIRTT Millwork, and a real-time, interactive 3D design software called ICE®.  DIRTT has manufacturing facilities in Calgary, Alberta (headquarters); Savannah, GA; and Phoenix, AZ.

The expansion to DIRTT’s Green Learning Center opened in January 2013. Photographs were graciously provided by Jim LeGuilloux of DIRTT.

A project concept proposed by lighting designer Revolver was transformed by Resolute into 43 custom LINTEL fixtures for One Kings Lane offices in San Francisco.

Measuring 96” — or 48” — long, 18” wide and 8” tall, the LINTEL beams are sealed on all sides;  Carnegie Xorel shade fabric (#6427-711)  is permanently bonded to opal white acrylic bottom and top diffusers.  The fixture is suspended by aircraft cable.  Both fixture lengths utilize 2 x T5 high output dimming fluorescent lamps.

The LINTELs are complemented in the One Kings Lane office space by SMITH 21-9, SMITH 28-9, and SMITH 16-14 drum pendants also in Xorel #6427-711.

Seattle designers Rice Fergus Miller chose four PROSPERITY pendants to adorn the new lobby living room at the Caroline Kline Galland Home, a 205-bed, skilled nursing facility on the shores of Lake Washington in the Seward Park neighborhood of Seattle.

The shade is Ø22” in diameter at the bottom, Ø21” at the top, 12” high and comprised of Xorel “Dash” 6603-16 stretched over high impact acrylic sheet.  The bottom diffuser disk is permanently bonded to shade sides.  These compact fluorescent fixtures feature Lutron EcoSystem 5% dimming electronic ballasts.

PROSPERITY is conceived as a versatile, adaptable light fixture system offering an interchangeable array of size and color options.   The clean, sealed fixture design incorporates a technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable shade fabric.  Xorel, a highly durable woven polyethylene textile from Carnegie Fabrics, is inherently anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-staph, water repellant and stain resistant.  It is ideal for hospital, medical office, hotel, and other demanding public applications.

Smart Building compatible fluorescent dimming versions are available.  XOREL by Carnegie Fabrics is MBDC Cradle-to-Cradle certified Silver.

PROSPERITY pendants of other sizes hang elsewhere in the facility.

Eight custom pod-shaped pendants were created for the lobby of Group Health’s Puyallup facility.   Ten strips of Knoll Textiles’ Imago Lintel “White Light” contribute a bright, sophisticated, satiny look to the organic form of the 30” tall outer shade.  An inner diffuser of high-impact acrylic softens the light produced by two 24 watt high output T5 lamps.

The pendant is fully enclosed — appropriate to a hospital setting.  The top is enclosed with a white powder-coated steel disk set in an opal white acrylic outer ring, the bottom has a removable opal white acrylic disk for access to lamps for replacement.

Fixtures are ceiling mounted on 1/2” diameter stainless steel tubing.
