3D Backlit Ceilings & LEED Certified

HESS CORPORATION (2008) NEW YORK, NY LEED CERTIFIED Specifier: TPG Architecture / New York , NY Installer: Newmat USA Ltd. / West Babylon, NY As part of the recent renovation of the New York Headquarters of the Hess Corporation, TPG Architecture called on Newmat USA to achieve two of their design elements. The first consisted of a large 2,500 square foot, 3-dimensional S-curved translucent ceiling backlit with fluorescent fixtures for the dining area. The second consisted of 124 custom fabricated panels and grid for various conference rooms and elevator lobbies. For the S-curved ceiling, Newmat fabricated double-ghost round tube dividers curved in the required shape, powder-coated white for better light reflection, and installed 7 feet on center; a single layer of NewLight T0B white translucent was stretched from divider to divider. For the custom fabricated panels, Newmat provided double-layer custom fabricated drop-in panels with a custom grid with bronze finish. TPG took full advantage of Newmat flexibility, aesthetics, and lighting performance to once again design a space with a striking image.
