WILLARD HOTEL: F street lobby

As the project designer for George Sexton Associates, I worked alongside the architectural services team for the hotel to create a lighting solution for the lobby. Our goal was to enhance the space with spark, ambiance, and focus while preserving the historical ceiling, ultimately creating a welcoming atmosphere for this prestigious hotel in Washington, DC. We carefully selected the lighting fixtures based on their dimensions and lumen output. The installation process was complex, requiring the construction of a raised platform in the floor above to accommodate all the low-voltage cables feeding the lamps. This involved perforating the concrete slab of the ceiling to ensure proper installation. Photo by Michael K. Wilkinson
