June | T-Mobile Kingsburg Call Center
Integrating strong branding with Swedish heritage design code
As is standard for T-Mobile offices, the Kingsburg Call Center is designed to bring vibrant energy to daily workspaces and give their employees a sense of pride and well-being. Various landmarks demarcate different interests and portal experiences, and employees enjoy fun amenities like a game room and theater, as well as breakout areas littered through the space.
Several acoustic and lighting solutions, such as AirCore Bridge with a custom magenta paint on the luminaire, ID+ 4.5” Cylinders in the same bold color, and an array composed of Seem 1 Acoustic baffles and Seem 1 Acoustic Trio pendants, creating arrow patterns, help convey the dynamic brand image.

May | Intrinsic School
Creating unique learning spaces for the next generation of leaders in a downtown high-rise
Located in the heart of Chicago, the high school spans across five floors of the Bell Federal Building, one of the city’s oldest high-rises. The non-traditional school, which uses a Blended Learning model, mixing teacher-led instruction and individualized, software-based learning, welcomed students from 40 different neighborhoods in its first year.
Glass partition walls and clerestory windows are used to bring as much daylight as possible in the open design concept. Seem 1 Acoustic Bidirectional & Unlit baffles are scattered throughout many areas of the school, providing a lighting solution that also fosters a positive learning environment by dampening noise levels and reverberations from hard surfaces.

April | Inova Loudon Hospital
Uniting hospital and community history with iconic design and patient-centered technology
The North Patient Tower took a measure of inspiration from the nearby Dulles International Airport with several important architectural references to the landmark. Anchoring this heritage into today’s needs, cutting-edge technologies were implemented within the facility. They include patient-centered innovations such as low-voltage LED lighting that creates opportunity for “quiet hours”, pillow speakers to control the dimmable LED lighting, and circadian rhythm color-tuning lighting at all patient bed locations. Apollo 8 supports the needs of patients and clinical staff with three modes of operation and easy controllability. Several other luminaires, such as Seem 4 Recessed and Perimeter, Equation 2, and ID+ 4.5” Downlights adorn other areas of the award-winning hospital.

February | Combined Metal Industries
Redefining what a metal recycling operation should be
The new 240,000 square feet facility eliminates the congestion, dust, noise, and poor lighting conditions typically associated with the metal recycling industry. Through architecture, it expresses the company’s core values and commitment to revolutionizing how scrap metal recycling is perceived. An expansive, open concept interior maximizes traffic flow and visibility, and allows natural light to flood the space. Energy efficient LED lighting, including Seem 1 Acoustic luminaires arranged in a dynamic, seemingly random patten, provides a safe and positive work environment that puts people first.

Using architecture to meet the evolving needs of the life sciences community
The Boardwalk is a LEED-certified Class A, multi-tenant science research campus with a first-class amenity package that includes a full-service restaurant, indoor/outdoor meeting areas, and a fitness space that takes advantage of the San Diego climate. The design brings to life a variety of spaces for scientific research with both interior and exterior campus amenities. Seem 1 Acoustic Trio covers a large expanse of ceiling over an open, multi-use area. The beehive arrangement of the bi-directional and unlit acoustic pendants creates a visually striking design feature that contributes to occupants’ comfort by dampening sound and providing optimal ambient lighting.
