As the last of our articles on awardees of Merit Awards in this year’s Lumen Awards 2009 we present a project by Cline Bettridge Bernstein Lighting Design – Terminus 100.

A description by Cline Bettridge Bernstein Lighting Design follow:

—

This tower is a monumental glass volume chiseled on the diagonal to create a bold V-shaped form and a translucent, triangular top.

The most difficult task was to evenly illuminate, with complete color and brightness consistency, a surface that transitions from a large sloped plane covering mechanical areas to slender lines that needed to be illuminated from within tenant spaces.

By carefully coordinating different sources and wattages appropriate for each architectural space, the lighting design accommodates the change in scale and material from one glass surface to another.

The seamless result belies this complex challenge.
