Congrats to Circular, who were honored with a 2024 AIA New York State Excelsior Award for their work at Corona 3K Center School. MFLD provided lighting design for this project that adapted existing retail buildings into a new school facility under the NYC School Construction Authority’s 3K Capacity program.
Skolnick Architecture +Design has returned to expand the young adult room into a larger study and conference area, complete with workspaces, seating, and a private collaboration space. MFLD’s lighting solutions are seamlessly integrated into dropped, organic-shaped ceiling panels, providing glare-free, dimmable illumination along the room’s perimeter. Construction is scheduled to commence tin Spring 2024, with an anticipated completion date in mid-summer.
MFLD was pleased to provide lighting designs for the new Flatbush Ascend Middle School. The new facility designed by MBB provides over twenty classrooms, including specialty classrooms for art, science, music, special education, as well as a full-height gymnasium, cafeteria, and rooftop play.
MFLD was honored to win a Lumen Award of Merit for their work on Trinity Church Wall Street. Gabe Guilliams, Lumen Award judge writes, “This project has been executed with exceptional attention to detail, resulting in a stunning composition that truly defines the space. Having personally experienced it, I must also highlight the mesmerizing beauty of the stained glass when viewed from the outside. While not shown here, it’s a further testament to the skillful execution of this project.”
The Lumen Awards were established in 1968 by the New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IESNYC) and developed to publicly recognize excellence, professionalism, ingenuity and originality in lighting design. The IESNYC announced the recipients of the 2023 Lumen Awards at the 53st annual Lumen Gala in June.

MFLD is working with B+W Architecture on a 5,700sf interior fit-out for a flagship Bank of America branch in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Located on the ground floor and mezzanine level of a newly completed mixed-use building, the multi-leveled, double-height space has a corner street-facing entrance. The full height glass walls require distinctive illumination in this commercial neighborhood. The lighting design provides bright, non-glare illumination for clients on both levels and reinforces the open architectural design. The project is designed to achieve LEED Certification.
