The Shed commissions new multidisciplinary work, so every space needs flexible lighting: continuous track in the galleries, and work light hidden in the beams so the ceiling stays clear for theatrical rigging.

From the project

The lobby’s central skylight looks up to the underside of the elevated park and is softly uplit after dark1.
