The lighting strategy required a sort of implicit dialogue with the city. The lighting design was a crucial part of modernizing the club. During the day, the club's grand white limestone architecture was striking, reminiscent of a European masterpiece. However, at night, the club receded into the background with dim lighting, making its storied past almost invisible. The lighting design aimed to create a balance between highlighting the building's grandeur during the day and accentuating its rich history at night. In order to achieve such feat, lighting sources should be integrated in such way that it felt as if the building was self-illuminating. Thanks to its small form factor, and high performance at just 1.5" tall, with a lumen package of 1,100 lms/ft, Graphite was easily both integrated, and powerful enough to carry the message of a city focused on the mobility of its audience.
