At a prominent point on the coastline of the Northwestern University Campus, the Sailing Club Pavilions by Woodhouse Tinucci Architects are simple in form and with basic lighting, but the discipline of coordination makes for a coherent and elegant experience.

Minimal exterior lighting serves the needs of sailors returning in the evening, for cleaning, packing up and the like, while interior lighting supplements ample daylighting.

Regarded as a small gem on the broader campus, lighting activates this space for the sailing community.

Light is built around the human experience of the space, and in turn lightens the impact of the building, drawing the eye through the glass link between functional blocks.

Lux Populi brought life to an already elegant building through highly coordinated basic lighting techniques – thought providing value over budget.

Bright within and surrounded in soft light, the Sailing Club melds intense function with the human experience.
