no way I am working thru all of this - but...

Even a 'small' town like Eugene has people who do acoustics and lighting for eateries and offices, so PDX surely does.

Or you could ask your friendly neighborhood architect...

Wow, that's a lot of homework...

With LEDs so cheap, I'm thinking the trial and error approach...

On a related topic, I was reading about recommended office decor and furnishing. Inviting chairs, in a sitting room layout, soft lighting, soothing art with still lifes and landscapes, etc.

I decided, screw that. I'm not a dentist or therapist. It is not a place to feel lulled and disarmed, it is a place to work intensely. My daughter's paintings may be abstract and aggressively colorful but I can tell people she painted them and then they'll be interesting and memorable. I mean, it's in an old industrial building in a gritty part of town. Never going to be a conventional space.
