Wells Fargo Center: Norfolk, Virginia | Backlit Onyx Lobby Features
Reception Wall and Columns
Date: In progress spring 2010 | Architect: Davis Carter Scott Design | Contractor: Clancy & Theys Const. Co.
The Wells Fargo Center Office Tower, part of a large LEED certified mixed-use project which is redefining Norfolk’s town center, will welcome visitors into its lobby with the intriguing glow of Mercury Onyx DURA-Lite™ stone panels. The unique backlit Mercury Onyx, featured along the reception wall and on the lobby’s multiple four-sided columns, commands a presence that is simultaneously bold and inviting. The columns presented a typical challenge found in backlighting; little space for which to support stone and to throw light. With our thin FLAT-Lite™ custom LED panels and thin lightweight DURA-Lite™ stone panels, GPI engineered a stone and maintenance-free system in a space of only two inches.
The result: evenly backlit natural stone surfaces with overall assembly depth of 2 inches.
