Great Wolf Lodge

Vey Honored that Light and Sound America chose to cover a project we have been working on for the few years.

The project is the design for the lobby for the Phase IV lodges that Great wolf in just in the middle of building. Our long time client, BRC Imagination Arts, ask us a few years back to join the team. Our scope included architectually lighting the lobby and designing the evening show that takes place in the lobby. The first lodge opened last year in Perryville MD. This year two more lodges are opening in Webster TX and Naples FL.

At the heart of the design is the Legend of Luna evening show. BRC has created just the most wonderful show with a huge heart. This was an exciting design for us as it centered around using generative design tools to expand the show from the center portrait screen to projection mapping on the central fireplace and further surrounding the audience with LED screen all around the lobby. We worked very closely with Nils Porrman of dandelion & burdock to develop the Notch block the drove all of the immersive elements.

We are also very proud of the custom chandeliers that hang in the lobby. Those were built by One Eighty One out of the Netherlands. Our goal was for them to look to the guests like normal hoop chandeliers but contain within them are pixel driven candles inside the glass shades as well as color washes for the ceiling which are total hidden in the hoops. Through this design we were able to have theatrical color and effects for the show but with all if concealed within the architecture of the lobby.

We are super fortunate that Josh Seelander join us to programmed the show. He is a master on the EOS platform and together we just had a blast bring the Legend of Luna to live.
