Commissioned by HK Architects as part of the refurbishment of an office atrium at 3 Brindley Place in Birmingham, this lighting installation was developed to transform their concept into a technically resolved and buildable system.

The design features 60 custom acrylic LED light units suspended on a grid of tensioned steel cables. Acting as both structural support and power circuit, the cables eliminate the need for separate wiring. Each light unit connects the cables, completing the circuit and drawing power directly from the grid. This approach seamlessly integrates lighting and structure, maintaining a clean aesthetic without visible electrical wiring.

Each acrylic light unit houses LEDs that emit in 360 degrees, creating a soft, ghost-like glow. Suspended in a controlled zig-zag formation, the installation introduces a dynamic rhythm of light, subtly shifting as the perspective changes throughout the atrium.

The result is a lighting system that appears weightless while remaining inherently functional, reinforcing the architectural intent without visual clutter
