Quality of Light
It’s hard to say which part of this Caribbean scene is more arresting: the distant islands and sky or the roof deck, handsomely illuminated by Claudia Librett, J76. Librett lit all four buildings of a lavish new 40,000-square-foot family beach compound using seventy different types of mostly LED fixtures, many of them custom-designed to withstand the region’s earthquakes and hurricanes. For her efforts, she and her design firm, 521 Atelier in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, received top awards in the Illuminating Engineering Society Philadelphia’s 2014 design competition. “It’s a pleasure to bring stunning architecture to light,” she says.

A lavish Caribbean beach compound was recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society with a Philadelphia Certificate of Merit & National Award of Merit at a June awards ceremony at the Ben Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia.
Preservation Alliance Award for 521 Atelier
The Union League of Philadelphia was the site of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia’s 2014 Preservation Achievement Awards where the Rittenhouse Square Centennial Restoration project was honored with a Grand Jury Award. Commissioned for the 100th anniversary of Paul Cret’s redesign of Rittenhouse Square, 521 Atelier specified new linear spread LED post lighting to illuminate areas of the balustrade that are particularly susceptible to graffiti, the guardhouse will become a beacon after dark, and the gardener’s cottage will be surrounded by a “green screen” fence that is brightly lit at night. Soon to be installed is new sustainable lighting for the ceramic fountain and pool inspired by the Villa Borghese in Rome.
