Individual towers commissioning their own lighting in isolation is how a skyline ends up with six unrelated colour temperatures and no hierarchy after dark. A master plan sets the palette, the brightness ceiling, and the choreography rules — which towers get warm white, which get colour, which stay dark so the eye has somewhere to rest — before any single building’s lighting designer starts detailing.
We’ve written nighttime lighting guidelines that developers and individual building lighting consultants both design against, so a district that’s built out over fifteen years still reads as one composition on the last building as it did on the first.
