Warm By Night, 2002-

Warm By Night is a public art commission for CityPlace towers at the corners of Front St. and Spadina Ave. in Toronto. CityPlace requested an artistic roof-top lighting treatment that would unify and define the towers within the skyline. I proposed to light the mechanical levels of each tower with warm-coloured illumination as a way of emphasizing the domestic character of the buildings.

The first five towers are now complete and feature the lighting treatment in the evening. Up to 16 towers will be included in the lighting scheme.
