Palm Beach County Convention Center SKYroom

Palm Beach, Florida
United States

Created as part of a competition to reimagine the user experience at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, SKYroom is an outdoor art environment that celebrates the iconic sunlight of South Florida.

HLB played a pivotal role in the development of the dynamic sculptural screen, working closely with the artist to determine the material, size of the openings, pattern, and placement of dichroic glass. Every decision was informed by analysis of local sun cycles to create the desired effect during the daytime – a dynamic display of shadows and subtle dichroic colors that celebrate the path of the sun from morning until evening and the seasonal changes from equinox to solstice. Tiny adjustable dynamic white luminaires are concealed within the structural elements of the screen to create a seamless transition from day to night.
