CUSTOM LIGHT FIXTURE

The custom light fixture is designed with nature in mind to link the space to the outdoors, not only the rooftop deck but the island as a whole.

EXTERIOR

All exterior fixtures, including those incorporated into the southwest sign and the guard rails, have been chosen from the same lighting family for a consistent look.

The elevation design was inspired by the local geology.

The majority of windows are on the south facade, in order to take best advantage of the sun’s path for solar heat gain in winter. Overhangs have been added to provide shade in the summer and offset faces on the second and third floors provide extra protection from the sun as well as visual interest.
