WILLARD HOTEL F STREET LOBBY: ceiling

During my time as a senior designer at George Sexton Associates working in this project, I developed a concept for the ceiling illumination that involved inserting a slim LED lighting fixture with a remote transformer at the intersection of the ceiling panels. This design created a grid of 28 light points positioned in the center of the ceiling, framed neatly around them. The installation of these fixtures required a precise drilling process, starting from the lobby and moving upward, to ensure that the fixtures would be aligned perpendicularly to the floor. I had the opportunity to observe the initial drillings for this operation, which would be repeated 28 times in total. Photo Michael K Wilkinson.
