Project Location New York, NY
Entry DescriptionThe Cortland is a New York City residential building that reflects the industrial heritage of its Chelsea neighborhood. The lighting design showcases the diverse palette of materials used in the architecture and interiors, such as patinaed metal, wood, and laminated glass.
The fixtures are on a dimming system that allows the lighting to change with the time of day, creating different moods and atmospheres. The lobby and amenity spaces are bright and welcoming during the day, but dim and seductive at night.
The children’s area is fun and interactive – here, kids can choose lighting that reflects their favorite colors.
Throughout the building, the design blends lighting integrated into the architecture with ceiling and perimeter coves. Decorative fixtures punctuate the spaces with character and style. The result is a project that enhances the building and its surroundings.
