Architect: KPF
Lighting design for Hudson Commons, a repositioned LEED Platinum Class-A office tower at the gateway to Hudson Yards. The approach supports the building’s transformation by balancing performance, clarity, and architectural expression while advancing sustainability goals.
The design prioritizes vertical illumination, glare control, and efficient ambient light to improve daylight penetration and occupant comfort. A 68-foot custom light installation anchors the lobby, guiding visitors from entry to elevator core and creating a strong arrival moment. The result is a contemporary workplace that unites environmental responsibility with a distinct spatial identity.
