This remarkable 20,000 square foot home set high within a LEED Gold Certified Manhattan tower demanded very close attention to lighting design details. The celebrity client worked in close partnership with the design team to explain her goals and desires – notably creating a warm, comfortable, atmosphere with a dramatic light quality that would be as appropriate for large formal parties and casual, private lounging.
The LEED standing of the residential tower required careful selection of light fixtures and lamps to ensure that the project’s overall energy load would fall beneath the mandated standard. Specifications included trimless pinhole accent/downlights from RSA Lighting, LED step-lights from iLED, a wide range of brass cast luminaires from O’Lampia; pendant fixtures from Murray Feiss, Shine Labs, Ingo Maurer, and Roost; wall and ceiling mounted light fixtures from Aqua Creations.
