Bold architectural lighting was a key element of Westfield’s design vision for “The Boulevard” in Terminal 6 at LAX, “Much like Los Angeles is a collection of diverse neighborhoods woven together by boulevards, Terminal 6 will unite three disjointed buildings into a seamless experience for travelers through the best in dining, retail, design and amenities,” said Dominic Lowe, Executive Vice President, Westfield.
Akar Studios was selected to design and execute to Westfield’s vision for the new BLU20 that dominates the concourse holding area. According to Akar Studios, “Lighting, as a design medium, is an essential element of this bar concept”. Its distinctive blue aura dominates the area and “the illuminated bar front provides a contemporary edge to the design of this venue.”
Seamless and uniform, the low profile of the Illuminated curved bar required only a 3.5 inch setback between Cooledge TILE and the diffuser material. Paper-thin, flexible, and modular TILE was specified for the simplicity and ease of installation without the need for specialized thermal management or LED expertise. The solution ultimately provides a simple installation that can be easily maintained for the numerous passengers coming through for years to come.
