HOK Architects designed a luminous color changing interior meeting space and backlit feature walls at the headquarters of Lifetime TV Networks in New York. With variations in the lighting colors, architect envisioned an ever changing character of the interior.
The most challenging part of the design was that the office building had a very little room for the lighting and wall material used in the design. The Panelite Bonded Series panels created totally frameless and seamless walls with less than six inches of wall depth.
The specified configuration used Clear Satin finish on the backside of the walls; an ideal finish for even diffusion of light. The front facing of the panels has a transparent finish to achieve glossy, transparent look from the outside; this also created a sense of depth to the walls.
Project: Lifetime TV Networks | Architect: HOK | Backlit feature wall: Panelite’s Bonded Series was specified with finished edges and a satin back facing to allow for silicone glazed vertical joints creating a seamless lit surface to activate the central spine of the office.
