Architectural Daylighting

Open break area with Emeryville views and an abundance of daylight invites gathering while staying connected; bright accents define zones and energize the workplace.

Adjacent to the charrette and material library, a secondary coffee area w/ Emeryville views & seating supports collab, research, and informal breaks.

An open reception area off the elevator lobby with boundaries defined only by headers above welcomes visitors and continues the wood slat finishes.

Glass conference and huddle rooms anchor the plan, forming a central hub for collaboration while preserving daylight and exterior views.

CRB - Emeryville Offices

The project consisted of a ±15,710 sq. ft. full-floor renovation within an existing high-rise building in Emeryville for an engineering, architecture, construction, and consulting firm. BAA collaborated closely with the Client throughout the design process to create a workspace that reflects their design philosophy and company culture. While the existing space offered expansive views of the Bay, San Francisco, and the Berkeley Hills beyond, it was previously subdivided into multiple tenant spaces— not meeting the tenant’s needs.

Basement Lighting

Basement lighting using Lightpipe (tubular daylighting) technology is an advanced natural daylighting solution designed to bring sunlight into underground and enclosed spaces. By capturing daylight at the roof level and transferring it through highly reflective tubes, this system delivers bright, uniform illumination in basements, parking areas, corridors, and other low-light zones—without relying on artificial lighting during daytime. Unlike conventional electrical fixtures, a Lightpipe basement lighting system reduces energy consumption, improves visual comfort, and enhances indoor environments with natural light. It is ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, residential basements, and warehouses seeking sustainable... More

Norikool

Norikool® by Skyshade is an advanced rooftop daylighting skylight system designed to bring natural sunlight into industrial and commercial buildings while reducing dependence on artificial lighting. Installed on metal roofs or RCC roofs, the system distributes uniform natural light across large indoor spaces such as factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities. Norikool uses UV-resistant double or triple glazed prismatic lenses that allow sunlight to enter the building while minimizing glare, heat gain, and uneven light distribution. This creates a brighter and more comfortable indoor environment while supporting energy-efficient building design. More
