Instead of following the status quo cold institutional environment, Public Health Management Corporation provides informal and lively spaces to relax clients and promote wellbeing. The complexity of the design reflects PHMC’s variety of services all provided in one location but requiring a distinct variety of spaces. The lighting design was devised to reinforce each department’s unique personality and function.
A variety of lighting techniques were employed: highlighting the ceiling elevation and geometry with recessed shapes and rhythmic patterns, scaling a space with large pendants, and bolstering activity with sparkle and arbitrary variety. Judiciously placed light coves slice through ceilings to highlight vertical surfaces and invoke the space above the ceiling. Distinctive lighting at the interconnecting stair was detailed with LED tapelight to visually uplift each riser and meet egress required illumination levels.
