Shown here are examples of the palettes which will be used in Mitchell House. Communal lighting is on PIR, (passive infrared sensors) which efficiently luminates the communal corridors, saving energy by powering down when not needed but ensuring clear bright entrances to your home when you exit the stairwells or lifts.
