January 26, 2009—LightWild announced it has completed the LED in-grade lighting for the new Volkswagen Group of America United States headquarters located in Herndon, VA.
The design for the six-story, 185,000 square foot office building was conceived by architects VOA Associates. Lead designer on the project, Pablo Quintana, selected twenty blue LED LightWild 12-inch tiles to represent the Volkswagen brand colors in the first floor lobby area.
When lit, the tiles can be seen through the open atrium from the top floor, six stories up.
“The concept behind the use of the LightWild tiles was to enhance the drama of the entry sequence into the new VW headquarters,” says Quintana. “The lit tiles provide a brilliance and sense of spectacle that, combined with the grand stair and atrium opening, make for a dynamic and awe inspiring lobby for the new facilities.”
