JANUARY | Lendlease Regional Headquarters
Lendlease's revitalized regional headquarters in midtown Manhattan’s MetLife Building reflect the development and construction company's commitment and dedication to placemaking. Located just a few floors above Grand Central Station, Lendlease’s New York office is a contemporary workspace that contrasts with the building’s historic façade and reflects the company’s long-held leadership of sustainable innovation in the construction and development industry.
ID+ Cylinders and Downlights, Seem 4 Pop Down Lens and Recessed, and Skydome LED provide comfortable illumination in the office, circulation, and amenity spaces where open, drywall, and wood ceilings coexist.

FEBRUARY | 40 Skokie
Situated at the busy intersection of Lake Cook Road and Skokie Boulevard in the Chicago suburbs, Boulevard 40 is a multi-tenant office building managed by CBRE. It offers desirable amenities, including a recently renovated atrium and first-floor conference room off the lobby.
AirCore Bridge, in a fresh blue hue, creates an airy canopy that lets natural light permeate the conference room while absorbing sound reverberations resulting from the glass walls and other hard surfaces.

MARCH | MarinHealth Medical Center
The MarinHealth Medical Center, formerly Marin General Hospital, merges hospitality with superior patient care by taking advantage of its beautiful hillside location where patients can recover in nature. From world class diagnostic and treatment spaces to comforting common areas, the design team created facilities and patient rooms with the latest health care technology, replacing a clinical look and feel with one inspired by a hotel stay.
Seem 4 Perimeter provides a glowing transition between ceiling and walls in corridors, waiting areas and patient rooms, creating a sense of space and openness. Seem 2 Recessed is arranged in a playful manner in drywall ceilings, enhancing interior design in common spaces.

APRIL | Cosentini Associates
Cosentini collaborated with MKDA Stamford to realize its vision for a flexible employee-centered workplace and Living Lab that optimizes team performance and showcases new advances in the firm’s sustainability, technology, and lighting practices. The design intention centered around flexible environments that provide universal access and comfort, opportunities to collaborate and socialize, and room for future growth.
Two rectangles formed of Seem 2 linear luminaires are suspended over the communal stair, the “spine” that connects both floors and encourages workplace connections, exemplifying how technical prowess can facilitate creative design. Painted to match the ceiling color, black ID+ 4.5" Cylinders with a non-glowing reveal support ambient lighting in corridors and open common areas with a subtle presence.
