Gwen Grossman Lighting Design

We're excited to announce that GGLD Founding Principal Gwen Grossman and Senior Lighting Designer Alex Quella will speak as part of the new NeoCon Shows Illuminate at NeoCon program!

We'll explore how integrating lighting into the earliest stages of architectural design profoundly influences the process and end result for everyone.

Inside this corporate office in Washington, D.C., the GGLD team worked with the architecture to integrate lighting that enhances wayfinding and inspires creativity.

By incorporating luminous coves and unobtrusive downlighting, our design adds generous visual depth and height throughout the workplace.

An effective lighting design starts before you even walk in the door.

GGLD's exterior and interior lighting for theMennonite College of Nursing at Illinois State keeps the building bright and welcoming — no matter the time of day or night.

Path and patio visibility are amplified along the exterior, while the entrance implements strategic layers of lighting to provide a smooth experience, leading the eye into the main atrium and the corridors and classrooms beyond.

It's all about the details when it comes to amenity-focused design. GGLD carefully integrated lighting throughout this office, introducing warmth and visual interest.

In the first image, integrated uplight wraps around a perforated metal screen mounted above the bar, highlighting the textured material.

The next image shows one of the custom fixtures built by our team, which we seamlessly integrated into the wall panels of a corridor.

As seen in the final two images, this creates a unique pattern of illumination as one walks down the hallway.

Curved, modern shapes dominate this cozy office lounge — and the icing on the cake are the fun and wavy decorative fixtures.

Throughout this confidential corporate office, our lighting adds a sense of playfulness and creativity, designed to inspire all who enter.

We love designing offices that make people excited to go into work!

Our hospitality-inspired design for the Molson Coors Chicago Headquarters includes bespoke elements created by our team and complex, customizable layers of lighting throughout.

Mood-setting color temperatures and elegant lighting integration ensure that this one-of-a-kind workplace is welcoming and invigorating for every employee.

Inside the new Corewell Health campus in Grand Rapids, Michigan, our team created a consistent visual language across two distinct buildings.

The historic Brasswork building's signature wood and brick finishes inspired our design for both spaces, where we incorporated hospitality-style illumination one would sooner expect to find in a restaurant or hotel, rather than an office building.

The continuity and warmth of the lighting across both buildings lays the foundation for the campus’s future: one that invites collaboration and fosters community health.
