Design Goal

Tabor Center promises tenants ample natural light, access to conference facilities, an athletic club, convenience store, and a hotel. The Commons is Tabor's recently renovated tenant lounge—the lounge includes a kitchen—as well as workspace and conference rooms.


The design goal was to light the center’s work environment while enticing tenant workers with a hospitable, front office flair.

Yes. Anastasia, who worked on budget while striving to meet the client’s design needs, credits Alcon Lighting. She explained that Alcon Lighting’s surface lighting allowed her to build to architectural lighting specifications without incurring exorbitant cost.

Lighting Insights

Two foundational principles of lighting design guide most designers and architects—the qualitative (or aesthetic) aspect and the quantitative (or engineering) aspect of light. Architectural lighting is concerned with the qualitative lighting experience. The qualitative pertains to ensuring that a space has a pleasing ambience. It is the artistic interspersing of shadows and light, darkness and illumination, highlighting certain figures and form.
