A masterpiece of H.H. Richardson’s architectural legacy, Trinity Church has graced Boston’s Copley Square since 1877. As part of a renewal project, HLB implemented a lighting design that pays homage to the church’s historic character while enhancing its presence for future generations.
The lighting system is composed of luminaires thoughtfully distributed throughout, making it possible for elements to be illuminated for the first time. Luminaires are inconspicuously located, allowing the lighting system to fade visually into the background. An updated lighting control system was installed, allowing staff to easily select preset scenes tailored to recurring events. All luminaires are accessible for maintenance using either lowerable electric trusses or ceiling catwalks above.
