Travaux, Inc. / Milwaukee, WI

Continuum was asked to plan, program and design Travaux’s new space, capturing their unique culture and addressing their changing workforce needs. Lighting design played a critical role to define various spaces in this large open volume. With the use of LED strips, our team created a cylindrical feature utilizing the Travaux logo – a “Plumb Bob” – to fashion a chandelier. 

Originally serving as a skylight over the third-floor billiard room of the former Plankinton Mansion, the selected item was a stunning 6’5”x14’ stained-glass mosaic panel fashioned after the ruins of Pompeii. Using 25,000 pieces of blue, gold and yellow colored glass, the artwork was mounted in zinc and copper.
