We were very pleased to take the award for the Public Building category at the 2012 Lighting Design Awards, even though we had to beat another of our projects (Glasgow’s Riverside Museum) which was also shortlisted, to win. The winning project was the Atmosphere Gallery at the Science Museum, described by the judges as ‘Clever, thoughful and visually stunning’.
This has been one of our most successful categories at these highly-competitive awards, with wins in 2003, 2007 & 2012 and ‘Highly Commended’ certificates in 2009 & 2011.

DHA Designs are delighted to have been shortlisted for no less than five times for the 2012 Lighting Design Awards, due to be presented on 21st March, 2012. The company has entries in the Public Buildings category (Atmosphere at the Science Museum & Riverside Museum, with Inverse Lighting Design), Special Projects (Book of the Dead, British Museum), Low Carbon (Atmosphere at the Science Museum) & Heritage (National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh) categories. The competitions seems exceptionally strong this year, so to be shortlisted in so many categories is a remarkable achievement.

The American Association of Museums MUSE awards gave Atmosphere an ‘honourable mention’ last night, citing the ‘highest standards of excellence in the use of media & technology for interpretive interactive installations’. Gosh, I think that means they liked it.
So, congratulations to Casson Mann, the Science Museum, Nick Bell Design and AllofUs for the award-winning design and content.
