55 H Street is a 12-story student housing building for Georgetown University, located near the downtown and law campuses of Georgetown. A living green wall greets you as you enter the building. Traditional amenity spaces feature rich materials, including wood and brick, which are softly uplit, enveloping the space and its residents in an tasteful ambient glow. The backyard serves as a natural oasis in the city, with decorative lighting integrated into the pergolas, and select, low-output landscape lighting that reflects the sustainability goals of the university. The top floor includes lounges, a gym and event spaces, with subtle layers of light integrated throughout to allow maximum flexibility.

An embrace is filled with love and warmth. Our lighting design for "The Embrace", the new memorial in Boston Common honoring the legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, aspired to enhance that feeling, creating a soft, inviting glow from within the sculpture. The random pattern of lights are anything but that. The locations are highly curated to focus light on the moments of embrace, the humanity of the details - their touch, their jewelry, their buttons, their love. At nighttime, as people walk over the small ingrade lights, shadows will pass along the sculpture, bringing the viewer into the embrace and the history of this moment in time. Framing the sculpture, ingrade wallwashers illuminate the quote by Coretta Scott King, celebrating their legacy together. We are extremely proud to have collaborated with artist @hankwillisthomas and architect @massdesigngroup on this beautiful statement of love and humanity. #theembrace #boston #lightingdesign #lightingbylam #architecturallightingdesign

The Brain, Mind & Behavior Center of Boston Children’s Hospital provides a central location at 2 Brookline Place for a variety of primary care services. Given the special needs of the patient group, it was important to understand visual and environmental triggers, while attending to the staff’s requirements as well. A daylit lobby welcomes patients and their families with a calm, yet playful, indirect cove with slowly changing colors. To balance the abundance of natural light in the space, wallwashing and niche accent lighting were employed to create a balanced and sensitive environment. A comprehensive, concept-driven wayfinding system was dovetailed into a thoughtful and largely indirect lighting solution for the corridors, easing navigation of each floor and serving as the primary source of illumination in exam rooms. #lightingbylam #healthcarelighting #architecturallighting #lightingdesign
