Project Success With MacsII – A Cooper Lighting Neo-Ray Solution

In 2023, Gabriel Ross Inc., renowned for curating over 100 luxury furnishing brands, unveiled its latest achievement in downtown Victoria: a brand-new showroom that transformed the former Gap location on Government St. into an expansive, immersive space for Canadian and European furniture, accessories, and lighting.

The journey to this grand opening was a meticulous two-year renovation, where every detail mattered. One of the pivotal challenges was finding the perfect lighting solution. The goal was clear: exceed client expectations and ensure optimal light uniformity across the vast expanse of the showroom’s ceilings and distinct sections.

To achieve this, the Mac’s II Agencies Lighting Design Team embarked on a journey of innovation and precision. They meticulously crafted ceiling plan calculations, developed intricate 3D models, and employed pseudo heat maps to transform conceptual ideas into tangible visual concepts. Their expertise ensured that every corner of the showroom was bathed in the right amount of light, enhancing the allure of each luxurious piece on display.

A standout feature of the showroom is the suspended wooden ceiling, adorned with integrated lighting (Cooper Lighting Solutions: Neo-Ray) above transaction counters on both levels. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also underscores Gabriel Ross Inc.’s commitment to blending functionality with elegance in every detail.

The showroom has quickly become a cornerstone of downtown Victoria’s revitalization efforts. It stands not just as a retail space but as a landmark celebrating the fusion of heritage and contemporary design. With Gabriel Ross Inc. marking its 30th anniversary, this new showroom represents a significant milestone in its journey. Collaborating on this project has been a privilege, contributing to a new chapter in the company’s rich history.

Visitors to the showroom are greeted with a sensory experience unlike any other in Victoria. They can explore a curated selection of furnishings that seamlessly blend timeless craftsmanship with modern sophistication. Each piece tells a story of quality and refinement, carefully chosen to resonate with discerning tastes.

Beyond being a showcase for luxury furnishings, the showroom serves as a hub for inspiration and design innovation. It invites patrons to envision how these pieces can transform their own spaces, whether it’s a cozy corner in a home or a statement-making office environment.

For Gabriel Ross Inc., this expansion into downtown Victoria is not just about retail expansion but about deepening its connection with the community. It’s about creating a destination where design enthusiasts, homeowners, and interior designers alike can come together to explore, discover, and elevate their living spaces.
