HL-A001 \u2014 The Foundry SoHo, New York Co-Working Suspended Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New York, United States<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Foundry SoHo is a 4-storey co-working and event venue in lower Manhattan that wanted a single linear lighting family for its open work floors, the central caf\u00e9 and the main event hall. The HELIAN HL-A001 suspended linear profile was selected as the core fixture across all three programmes because it offers a single aluminium body in silver or black anodised finish, an opal PC or PMMA diffuser and a 20 mm \/ 22 mm dual-side lighting opening that lets the same profile wash both up and down from a single 50 mm-wide housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Pain Points and Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Need 1 \u2014 One profile, two directions of light.<\/strong> The brief required one luminaire family that washes both ceiling and work surface from a single suspended bar, eliminating the need for a separate up-light and down-light.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Need 2 \u2014 Continuous runs up to 4 m.<\/strong> Open work floors required long, gap-free runs across 3.6 m structural bays without mid-span joints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Need 3 \u2014 Architectural finish control.<\/strong> All visible metal had to be available in either silver or black anodised to coordinate with the host ceiling and the co-working tenants’ branding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Need 4 \u2014 Multiple diffuser chemistries from one supplier.<\/strong> Office floors needed opal PC, the caf\u00e9 needed opal PMMA matte for a softer warm reading, and the event hall needed semi-clear and clear options for high-bay illumination \u2014 all from the same HL-A001 cover family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Need 5 \u2014 Tool-free maintenance.<\/strong> The event hall needed rapid re-lamping between bookings; the caf\u00e9 needed accessible maintenance above coffee service without disturbing customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
