The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre redefines the traditional form of a theater by vertically stacking the support spaces, allowing the performance hall to be totally enclosed by a transparent curtain wall. The raw interior spaces expose the building’s structure and the inner workings of the theater equipment, with light fixtures supporting this aesthetic in their pure, simple forms. “The lighting design choices make this project,”
one judge praised. “Light fixtures in the lobby and stairs give it distinctive shape and flow, while unconventional lighting of the catwalks as ambient house lighting highlights an otherwise unobserved space.”
The lighting design mimics the stage lighting in
color, quality and function, with fluorescent light used as work lighting and halogen sources as performance lighting. Occasionally the two sources

come together for optimum flexibility. Custom catenary cable mounted fixtures, designed to recall bare A-Lamps, add a playful element to the otherwise stark, tall volume of the conference room. The halogen light visually defines the room from the adjacent black box theater and offices primarily lit with fluorescent light.
