The 10-story atrium of this mixed-use building allows for abundant daylight to reach interior spaces. The 120-foot stone interior wall, visible from the exterior, provided a perfect accent for illumination. The lighting team tested multiple solutions to achieve smooth, uninterrupted lighting.

Municipal Building Clock Tower, Minneapolis, Minnesota
IES Award of Merit
Lighting Design Team: Michael White, IES, LC, EDAC, LEED AP

A new lighting design for the clock tower restores each clock face to the 1900’s design intent. The tower is the largest four-faced, chiming clock in the world. Theatrical lighting techniques were used to bounce and reflect light inside the tower to evenly wash and back-light each clock face.
