A school hall with columns like trees

At Marymount School, One Lux Studio lit a new hall where ribbed columns open into the ceiling like branches.

The photographs speak for this project: pale, ribbed columns rise and fan out into a ceiling of lit ribs, and the light comes from between them rather than from visible fittings. It reads as calm and even, the right light for a building full of students all day.

One Lux Studio credits the project to Stephen Margulies, Yon Choy, Huanhai Cheng and Tilbe Ozrenk1.

The studio’s team page says Stephen Margulies has more than 35 years in lighting, and describes Yon Choy as leading award-winning projects2. One Lux, founded in 2007, is based in Midtown Manhattan3.
