Stair smallDHA Designs recently completed the lighting for the new Miles Stair at Somerset House, London. The staircase was designed by Eva Jiricna Architects and is made from Ductal, a material a thousand times stronger than concrete. The lighting was supplied by Lightworks, including Prolicht’s Never Ending wall lights and Ares LED ingrade uplights.

Stanley Spencer at Somerset House

DHA completed the lighting for the new exhibition of Stanley Spencer’s Sandham Memorial Chapel paintings, Heaven in a Hell of War, which chronicle his experiences as a War Artist & medical orderly in WW1. Normally displayed in the purpose-built chapel in Burghclere, the canvases have moved to a temporary home in Somerset House whilst the chapel is restored.

DHA worked with the exhibitions staff at Somerset House & curators from the National Trust to ensure these monumental works are displayed to their full advantage in their new home.
