Gray Architecture



Gray Design Studio
is a small firm that opened in 2003.  Ryan Smith, the owner, graduate from the University of Southern California Architecture Program in 1995.  He opened the architectural design studio to design for smaller commercial and residential projects. 
His work includes an 11' fixture for a large residential foyer.  He also converted a small prototype into a fixture that uses a dimmer to dramatically enhance the over all design.  
I was just overtaken by his 11' lighting fixture.   The pictures make the form feel like a piece of cloth that is floating in the air.  It reminds me of a massive gown where millions of sheer square fabric pieces have been sewn together and draped along a fragile form.  I just love the way he displays the light within the form in may different positions.  Thus making each piece a unique commission.

The site is much better then the image I was able to pull so please check it out!
