Visitors and locals agree, the end result was worth the effort. It was truly a collaborative design effort to combine our conceptual goals with the reality of manufacturing a fixture that would work in this environment” said Lukas J. Lumenpulse was the only company that was willing to help us realise our vision. We approached numerous manufacturers with our vision of creating “leaning pylons of light” as a gateway to the site, but many manufacturers were concerned about water ingress issues. One of the greatest challenges actually had to do with this specific fixture. “There were a number of challenges on this project, given its close proximity to the ocean. Lumenpulse was able to take Lumen Studio, Inc.’s design and modify a tried-and-true luminaire to help the lighting design celebrate this part of the site’s history.
A striking local element, the abandoned and leaning wooden wharf pilings just offshore, became the motif for the Element Column modification and installation. wanted to create a gateway element to the site that was representative of the unique character and history of the area. In order to give the outdoor area a “wow” factor that would draw people into the site, the stylized Element Columns were fashioned and installed to look like leaning wands of light. The Clippership Wharf site sits along the Boston Inner Harbor near the Maverick MBTA Blue Line station, offering sweeping views of the Boston skyline from Charlestown to South Boston. After two abandoned shipping wharves in East Boston were turned into a residential and commercial destination, Lumen Studio chose specially modified Lumenpulse Element Columns to “greet” and welcome visitors to the exciting site. Clippership Wharf is the newest mixed-use development project on a 12-acre East Boston Waterfront site overlooking Boston Harbor and the Boston skyline.
