While the design team sought to create a building of dignity and presence to herald the spirit of a new beginning at ground zero, the team had the additional challenge of how to deal with a building whose 80’ high base needed to hide Con Edison transformer vaults. The solution was a shimmering light and metal screen wall and a lobby, inserted into it, with an illuminated ceiling that changes color over the evening. The elegant and mysteriously shimmering base belies the considerable technical challenges overcome to create a custom light art-piece that wraps around an entire city block.
