61 Oxford Street is a striking new mixed-use development on the corner of London’s Oxford and Soho Streets. The prominent corner tower is now home to a brilliantly illuminated glass lantern.

0 - The lantern uses the iColor Flex MX gen 2 solution from Philips Color Kinetics; a multi-purpose, high-intensity strand of full-colour LED nodes able to generate extraordinary effects, patterns and video on almost any surface
- 45 custom length strands ranging from 26 nodes to 71 nodes were installed within the lantern, fixed to a specially designed frame that follows the curves of the undulating glass
- A Pharos LPC X is used to manage the content for the strands. Working from StudioFractal’s design drawings, Architainment mapped 2,759 RGB nodes (8,277 channels) of control; a particularly complex process in a three-dimensional design
- 61 Oxford Street won the prestigious RIBA National Award 2016 and the RIBA London Award 2016
