services, and the library occupies floors 7 through 12. A common area
and a 300-seat moot court are below grade but also naturally lit thanks
to clerestory windows and light wells.
Color, custom lighting, and furnishings enhance architecture
Exposed concrete ceilings and support beams are painted banana
yellow or apple green, while vivid emerald linoleum enlivens the floors
of the classrooms. Together with a simple material palette of smooth
maple and rough concrete, the colors stand out. "The colors play off of
those in the building, bringing them down to floor level," Behnisch says.
"Since we didn't have interior cladding like gypsum or wallpaper, color
and lighting became even more important."
For lighting, Behnisch collaborated with Nimbus to design the
OfficeAir LED lamps in the offices, but the most distinctive fixtures are
the 70 or so custom-designed "butterfly" LED fixtures that dangle and
sparkle throughout the atrium. Developed specifically for the building
by the architects in collaboration with Austrian lighting supplier
Zumtobel, they serve to "make the space a true experience," Behnisch
says. "They help fill the atrium and emphasize its verticality."
Behnisch designed built-in millwork furniture for work bars
and other informal work areas, and also collaborated with several
companies to design and fabricate furnishings throughout the Angelos
Law Center. For example, with German furniture company VS,
Behnisch developed customized library carrels.
The meeting areas are outfitted with modular seating, in shades
of mango, cherry, and orange sorbet, designed by Behnisch in
partnership with Rolf Benz Furniture of Germany. Rolf Benz will make
the seating available for contract production. "The Rolf Benz system
is a highly flexible, modular system that can be configured in a variety
of ways to work well in many different kinds of spaces," says Robert
Matthew Noblett, a partner in Behnisch's Boston office. "The wood
frames complement the wood accents in the building interiors, and
the expansive fabric upholstery is an opportunity to bring strong
color accents into the building." c
