the engagement began with unifying multiple public realm lighting designs across the site. the public realm lighting had been delivered by various teams and contractors — each working to their own brief. the goal was a unified guest experience across the landscapes, plazas and parks — bringing coherence to the whole while respecting the design intent of each area.

we conducted a peer review of existing work and coordinated with the original project lighting designers to maintain design intent while making the adjustments the event required. the result was visual consistency without uniformity — each zone retaining its character while feeling part of the same place.
