Orlando International Airport Terminal C



Custom lighting creates breathtaking moments of discovery and whimsy.



The Orlando International Airport Terminal C not only supports the increase in passenger travel but reinvents the passenger experience. HLB's electric lighting and daylighting designs promote ease of navigation, visual comfort, increased access to amenities, and a celebration the Orlando Experience: Sky, Water, and Light.



Passengers are welcomed by the custom feature wall that utilizes per-pixel dynamic controls to create the effect of a soft node of ‘water' traveling down surrounding surfaces. Above them, varying opacities of glass ceiling panes filter daylight to create a dappled light texture reminiscent of the Orlando sun shining through a canopy of palm trees. Each individual luminaire is digitally controlled to seamlessly integrate electric and daylighting design by dynamically responding to the availability of daylight, thoughtfully balancing sufficient lighting, visual comfort, and minimizing energy use.
