Illuminating Music
WITH THE HELP of TSP Smart Spaces, the owners of this historic Boston home can now
" see " music in a new light... literally. Built in 1883 and designed by the prestigious
architects Rotch & Tilden, this historic home in Boston's Back Bay is an authentic time capsule
of the late 19th century. Hidden behind closed double doors is a unique space, even for
Boston's most historic and affluent residential neighborhood.
The Music Room was added in 1897 to host private performances for international musicians.
A half dome ornamented with plaster rosettes, a coffered ceiling with a raised corona, and imported
marble floors and columns highlighted the performance stage. Famous musicians such as
Ferruccio Busoni, Arthur Rubinstein, and Ignacy Paderewski graced the space in its early years,
and it continued playing host to notable artists into the 1940s.
Working with Ken Vona Construction and Driscoll Electric, TSP Smart Spaces was tasked with
putting together the team to revitalize this diamond in the rough.
" We coordinated the lighting design and fixture selection, designed all of the lighting control
systems, and then project managed the entire team to completion, " says Michael Oh, president
and founder at TSP. " Even after having so much time in the project over two years during the
pandemic - we were astonished with the result. In 125 years, this room has never looked as
good as it does today, all because of the high-performance lighting and perfect control. "
Before TSP's improvements, the music room relied on four large pendant lights in the main
coffered ceiling and a single shallow pendant in a dining nook. The room's exterior walls primarily
consist of plaster on masonry, and their construction made new wiring runs challenging.
" We overcame this challenge through an extensive design and discovery phase, where we
opened the coffered ceiling and ran heat scans of the floor to verify radiant heating and ingrade
fixture locations. From there, we worked with Fourth Dimension Lighting out of the U.K.
for the lighting design and coordinated fixture selection. Fixtures from MP Lighting, Apure,
Beulux, and Klus were all selected, " says Oh.
From a control standpoint, TSP used Lutron Homeworks QS to oversee the 18 Lutron HiLume
Premier 0.1% drivers for more than 250 feet of cove lighting, which replaced aging incandescent
festoon lighting. CE Pro
