Tirschwell & Co received Award of Merit in Lumen Awards 2009 for the lighting of Bar Bouloud in New York/USA. The project is a bar and a restaurant featuring warm pallete of colours and high vaulted ceiling.

Description by Tirschwell & Co:

—

This casually elegant duplex restaurant evokes a wine cellar with its barrel vaulted ceiling, warm expressions of floors of oak, and stone.

On the main floor, all lighting was completely concealed including that for the crushed stone wall held together with woven metalwork.

Multiple light sources were bounced off of warm broad palettes to create a soft effect with key and fill components.

Working with a barrel vaulted ceiling was their biggest challenge. “It was extremely difficult trying to light everything with two architectural slots,” said Matthew Tirschwell, principal of Tirschwell & Co., Inc.

The team of Tirschwell & Co. successfully met their challenges with incredibly flattering lighting for this trendy, modern atmosphere.
