Washington, DC

Client: WilmerHale
Architect: LSM
Completion: 2023
LEED Gold®

The design of this global law firm’s headquarters features a striking interplay of lighting and architecture. Carefully integrated lighting elevates the entire space and highlights architectural transitions, enhancing the feeling of height and airiness. Illuminated, curvilinear coves flow along the building’s organic forms, with recessed downlights strategically placed to emphasize key features.

In the jewel-like multipurpose room, downlights create a shimmering canopy of light complementing the architectural curves while maintaining functional flexibility. The lighting fixtures are thoughtfully selected to balance brightness and energy efficiency, aligning with LEED standards.
