The solution
Discreetly placed within the landscaped courtyard in a circular glazed collar, light filters through to the underground art gallery. The irregularly shaped cone is fabricated from mirror-polished stainless steel.
Tilt worked closely with the architect and fabricator to manage the artisanal process of achieving the conical shape with a mirror-polished finish. The complete oculus is achieved with a combination of glazing, lighting and stainless steel fabrication, all coordinated by Tilt’s design team.

Phoenix is a project that confers on our profession a certain hope; that latent in our culture is something important to the human condition and architecture might be the medium to express it.
