160 W Santa Clara

ESI Design reimagined interior lobby of 160 W Santa Clara, extends to the grand exterior entry with a Vapor® Graphic Perf® hybrid interior and exterior installation featuring RGB Backlighting that is programmed to cycle through illumination shows, both day and night. In a nod to both its location in Silicon Valley and the Santa Clara Valley, the custom perforations developed in concert with the NOWN Design team mimic the ones and zeroes of digital code and meander into organic patterns creating a coded map of the area’s waterways. The backlighting fades in and out of different gradients, providing movement and soothing spectral shifts that establish a welcoming, dynamic, and coveted character to visitors and tenants alike.
