When Eric Turner of Turner Development secured a long-term lease with CH Robinson to develop their office in Baltimore, Maryland, he promised that this will be the best office in their portfolio.  To achieve this, he knew that he had to deliver something truly unique and one-of-a-kind.  Eric wanted lighting to play a big part in the development and so, turned to VISO in Canada to create a stunning custom fixture for this state-of-the-art office building. 

The lighting for the office space is highly visible and on display at all time due to the floor to ceiling windows surrounding the lobby.  “Lighting is often an afterthought, but we went into this project knowing that we had to do something big, something special in the open collaborative area which dominates the center of the new office,” Turner explained.  The team wanted to have that wow factor for people in the office as well as those walking outside. 

To create a show-stopping lighting piece with the tight timeline attached to this project, experience in custom commercial lighting was key.  Not wanting to compromise on the lighting and the value engineering that was required, Turner Development approached VISO with the challenge of designing and manufacturing three massive custom chandeliers.

Working closely with the development team at Turner, VISO design-engineered three colossal 84” / 2134mm custom matte black fixtures based on the VISO Ring lights.  The fixtures are lit using 3000k LED stripes and create a formidable presence in the main lobby.  Once quality control and final testing of the lights were completed at VISO’s Toronto facility, the chandeliers were shipped to Baltimore.  VISO delivered the three chandeliers on time and on budget, much to the delight of the customer. 

VISO’s custom commercial lighting capabilities and expertise ensured that everything went smoothly and also provided support on the installation every step of the way.  The design, production and installation was fantastic success and the project was awarded Best Office Interior in Maryland by the International Property Awards.
