Two of The Lighting Practice’s projects have received 2019 Design Awards from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) New Jersey chapter!
Landmark Filinvest: Merit, Built – Non-Residential Interior Design or Featured Element
The Philippines’ Landmark grocery store chain has revolutionized the country’s shopping experience. Led by Hugh A. Boyd Architect, the modern architectural design of the new location blends organic and geometric forms. Michael Barber and Ryan Conover created bright, seamless illumination throughout the market by studying feature elements and strategically tucking fixtures into the architecture. To mitigate the language barrier and time difference among the team, TLP communicated the lighting design using thoroughly detailed drawings. The team then coordinated mock-ups through architect Hugh Boyd, after which TLP reviewed and provided feedback.
Landmark Filinvest has also received the following awards: 2018 Gold Award from Shop! Design Awards, 2018 Best of the Year Award from Interior Design Magazine, and 2019 Philament Award from the IES Philadelphia Section.
Civic Theatre of Allentown: Merit, Built – Preservation
Mills + Schnoering Architects (M+Sa) designed a master plan for the renovation and restoration of the Civic Theatre, a 90-year landmark in Lehigh County, PA. Working closely with the client, M+Sa and the design team, TLP redesigned the lighting system within the box office, lobby, auditorium, stage, control booths, and concessions. Jered Widmer and Chris Hallenbeck refurbished the historic lighting while providing a modern, user-friendly system that comes in under energy code requirements. The new lighting control system is seamlessly integrated with the theatrical lighting system. Existing wall murals come to life with new illumination. Higher, more uniform lighting levels in the auditorium house improve the guest experience with minimal impact to the historic ceilings.
The Civic Theatre has also received a 2019 Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Award from Preservation Pennsylvania.
