New Lab x Michigan Central

in 2023 we were commissioned by Civilian Projects to create custom light fixtures from Sconce 4 by Alvaro Ucha Rodriguez for Michigan Central, a first-of-its-kind ecosystem combining Detroit’s rich history and its commitment to shaping the future of transportation worldwide to form a global hub for mobility innovation.

Anchored by a vibrant and inclusive 30-acre campus, this growing community serves as a powerful convening place and real-world test bed to build the urban transportation solutions that advance a more sustainable, equitable future. Featuring a state-of-the-art mobility hub, retail, multiple outdoor plazas, and 1.2 million square feet of commercial public space, Michigan Central aims to attract local and global visitors alike, spur economic development and jobs, and organize investment in new technologies.
