The First International Financial Center (FIFC) is a 15-story office building located on the main road of Mumbai’s BKC district. Our light-ing approach focused on meeting LEED Gold-certified building standards, while enhancing the materiality and grace of the architectural details and massing. The lighting design for the building exterior highlights the “floating tube” that projects from the west facade, the lattice on the east facade, and the “bookend fins” projecting on the north and south fa-cades. Several lighting mockups were created to confirm that the unique materiality of the building, inspired by its local context, was ad-equately highlighted.
