AN iLIGHT SUCCESS STORY

PROVIDING “EYE CANDY” IN DALLASLuxury apartment complex features multiple uses of Plexineon

In a city that does everything big and bold, a new luxury apartment high-rise fits right in.

The Taylor stretches 17 stories high and houses 308 luxury units and amenities — providing upscale living in the heart of the uptown neighborhood in Dallas, steps away from dining, shopping, culture and entertainment.

The area’s exciting vibe is what inspired the building’s contemporary exterior as well as the sophisticated interior, where first and second floor common areas feature multiple, expansive applications of iLight Plexineon White 1X 3500 LED fixtures. The result: posh spaces that retain a sense of fun — suiting the young professionals who typically call The Taylor home.

The Design Challenge

With interiors designed by Marly + Co. to resemble a boutique hotel, the challenge was adding lighting that would feel fresh and not “typical” for a residential tower.

Last, Plexineon fixtures illuminate a display of curving blue translucent material hanging above a bar area — a focal point that serves as art.

The Plexineon Advantage

The combined result is a dynamic harmony of elements that make a striking first impression as you step into The Taylor.

Beyond aesthetics, Oldner appreciated that iLight was meticulous about each step — with tailored drawings and great questions — to ensure installation would go smoothly.

THE TAYLOR – DALLASPROJECT DETAILS

Taking a cue from curvilinear architectural features, Scott Oldner, of Scott Oldner Lighting Design, made the most of Plexineon’s ability to bend.

First, he used exposed lines of Plexineon to create a wave pattern along the ceiling that threads its way through several interconnected spaces — adding bling and casual fun to offset some of the more formal interior design.

Unlike cove lighting, which would have looked “dated,” Oldner says direct view is fitting for the cool, hip area that surrounds The Taylor. “It’s eye candy — a ‘look at me’ statement that’s appropriate here in Dallas. In the middle of the Great Plains, we have to build our beauty.”

Oldner applied Plexineon to a different effect beneath a second floor balcony area, where the fixtures illuminate translucent panels hanging from a tiered ceiling. The look is

Plexineon’s ability to bend made it possible to echo curvilinear architectural features.

In this innovative application, exposed lines of Plexineon illuminate translucent panels, creating a soft, ribbon-like effect.
