Lighting

A single linear source of light was designed to follow you throughout multiple floors of the building, at custom angles to achieve a continuous path of illumination that wrapped around the building. This line of light is also visible from street level, providing an aesthetic glow from the exterior. By lighting the hard surfaces inside, you create depth and make it more open and inviting, defining the materiality of the space. The uniqueness of this project comes with how true the concept remained.
