L’Observatoire International won their second Award of Merit on 2010 Lumen Awards for the lighting design for Alice Tully Hall & The Juilliard School at Lincoln Center.

More information follows:

—

This project included full renovation of Tully Hall, plus 65,000ft^2 of new construction for The Juilliard School. Tully Hall occupies the lower 2 floors; The Juilliard School occupies the top 3 floors.

The lighting concept unifies and brings a nocturnal identity to the project, emphasizing the institution’s nighttime vitality. Lighting emphasizes transparency of the glass facades, using interior surfaces as reflectors of light.

“Designed in 1969, the Alice Tully Hall / The Juilliard School building was often described as “bunker-like,” defensively cut-off from the city.”

“The design team’s task was to open Alice Tully Hall and The Juilliard School public spaces to daylight and views, to reengage the vibrant city life surrounding Lincoln Center.”
