For this newly built Bank of America Tower in New York, Gensler Architect and HDLC Lighting Designer chose Mir.O.Dal, the Newmat customized panel system, to be installed in numerous areas, including trading floors, conference rooms, elevator lobbies and an auditorium. The goal of having a translucent back-lit system, easy accessibility, and high acoustical performance was attained by combining the Mir.O.Dal system with NewLight (translucent membranes) and NewAcoustic (micro-perforated membranes). Newmat fabricated and installed custom panels with two layers of micro-perforated translucent membranes, torsion springs, and custom channel dividers used to house sprinkler heads and/or down lights. The torsion spring panels of various sizes and shapes make the system accessible by anyone at any time, and the micro-perforated membranes provide the level of acoustical absorption needed for these types of applications. The lighting design behind the membranes results in an evenly lit/glowing system, and the entire Newmat installation is in perfect harmony with the slick, smooth look of the space.
