Profile
FISHER MARANTZ STONE provides an understanding and sensitive approach to light as an integral architectural material which supports the idea of a space and the human activities within it. Since 1971, the firm has created effective, innovative, and economical lighting solutions for over 5,000 challenging projects around the world. Strength and variety are derived from the diverse backgrounds and points of view of our principals. Our continued involvement in professional entertainment lighting, theatre design consultation, basic lighting research, and teaching serves to enhance the firm’s creative approach to designing architectural lighting.
A successful lighting design begins with an idea. Our early involvement in fundamental decisions is essential to push the design beyond the conventional and familiar to achieve a unique and inspired vision. The process must begin by talking with the Client and the Architect to understand needs and goals. A dialogue follows to learn how the Architect will approach the program and develop it into a realized image. We have applied this approach to notable projects including: Burj Khalifa, Shanghai Bund, Hong Kong International Airport, The Peninsula Paris, US Embassy London, The Getty Center, Google, Radio City Music Hall, Ford Foundation Headquarters, The National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center, the Washington Monument, and the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African American History and Culture.
With a select project team of 3-5 professionals drawn from the firm’s thirty designers, we begin our active and collaborative involvement in the lighting design process. We seek to create a synthesis between the built environment and the human perception that will convey an image in light that is at once provocative and enduring. We will communicate our ideas about light to the client and architectural team through drawings, sketches, computer crafted models and analytical graphics.
Sustainability is an important parameter in our design process. Our LEED and WELL accredited professionals lead the development of energy conservation and sustainable benchmarks for light across our many projects which either seek LEED certification or are designed according LEED or other international sustainable initiatives. We seek to create a lighting system for each project that will realize all practical benefits of sustainable design through careful coordination and collaboration with the client and architectural team. We have taken an active role in research and development of lighting systems that consume less energy, cost less to install and maintain, and have minimum impact on the environment.
