The building envelope, extra-tall ceiling heights, and sloping surfaces at Crystals presented several challenges when it came to the placement and accessibility of the light fixtures. Focus Lighting devised a system of ceiling slots to house the luminaires, which keep the ceiling planes free from “visual clutter.” During the day the space is infused with a complement of natural light from a series of skylights.
To understand the complexity of the architectural envelope, Focus Lighting built a model to study the interaction of light in the space and understand the ceiling-plane alignments to locate fixtures and access the catwalks.
