Grand Hyatt: San Francisco, CA | Illuminated 3Form and Wood Escalator Wall Panels

Interior Design: Indidesign | Architect: Gensler | Lighting Design: Revolver | Millwork: Acosta

Dark wood panels striated with thin lines of illuminated 3Form Varia Ecoresin clad the newly renovated escalator walls at the Grand Hyatt hotel in San Francisco. The custom-built backlit panels utilize the wall planes to bring light into this long space, and the unique pattern creates a dynamic connection between the main lobby and the lower lobby. Flat-Lite™ LED panels and Infuse™ controls were custom designed to balance the lighting across the trapezoidal shapes, keeping visual uniformity in the perception of the surface.
The result: even LED backlighting in under 3” of space; pre-fabrication and active coordination minimized invasion during renovation process.
