There is a variety of lighting in this space depending on where you are. The first half of the space is the brighter of the two, staying at a color temperature of 3150K and being more inviting to the outside world and reflecting light against the variety of materials. There is a use of chandeliers and sconces in the space bringing the extra brightness, along with a glow coming from the bar, this will be underneath the countertop and backlighting the shelves behind the bar. The drop ceiling above the bar will also feature this glow to bring attention to the seating areas.

The second space will have a color temperature of 2700K, bringing a warmer feel to the space. The same application of a glow will be featured in the back, with an addition of a few chandeliers to add a subtle brightness to the seating areas. With the bar being the focal point of the space, this is where the most light will be produced with the LED glow, table tops, and chandelier. With the added darkness, the space feels more intimate and even more exclusive than the front space.
