Congratulations to all of the winners – we are so grateful to have worked on such amazing projects.

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.

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.

The Albert Einstein Education and Research Center (AEERC) is conceived as an urban oasis, with an imbued sense of calmness that offers a counterpoint to the activity of the city. Organized around a vaulted, skylit atrium garden, the building’s laboratory spaces, classrooms, and communal areas are interwoven with nature and embody the unique character of the institution.

Located in the residential district of Morumbi, São Paulo, adjacent to the main Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, the AEERC is the latest initiative of the premier Brazilian healthcare institute Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein. As the first medical school to be established by a private hospital in Brazil, it is envisioned as a landmark learning and research environment.
