Light as Material: Illuminating Architecture

Hosted by Realty Collective & Taylor and Miller Architecture

In a city defined by walk-ups, converted storefronts, and charmingly awkward layouts, light is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape and elevate space.

Join Realty Collective and Taylor and Miller Architecture for an illuminating evening on how to use light—natural and artificial—as a design material in small and unconventional New York City spaces. From brightening basement studios to creating visual openness in railroad apartments, we’ll explore how thoughtful lighting transforms the way we live, feel, and move in tight quarters.

This event will feature:

• Real-life case studies of small NYC apartments reimagined through lighting design
• Tips and techniques to make your home feel bigger, brighter, and more inviting
• A dialogue between architects and real estate experts on lighting’s role in space perception and livability

Perfect for:Renters, homeowners, interior designers, brokers, and anyone living in or working with complex city spaces.

Because in NYC, space is tight—but light can be expansive.
