Grid Linear Lighting Defines Public Outdoor Canopy
This open-air public paseo features a striking, geometric white metal pergola canopy designed by McKinney-York Architects. Recessed linear lighting runs flawlessly along every structural beam, outlining the clean grid framework and casting a soft, uniform ambient glow for pedestrian use after dark.
The exposed outdoor framework demanded a weatherproof, flush-integrated lighting solution that could highlight the rigid grid geometry without the clutter of bulky, exposed fixtures, while standing up to Texas’s highly variable weather.
To achieve this, our ANNO TAPE WET X + BE1002 aluminum channel installs hidden within the beam recesses, delivering consistent illumination. Engineered with a fully sealed, weather-resistant build, this high-performance linear system maintains steady, year-round operation in high-foot-traffic civic spaces.
Concealed grid linear lighting turns simple structural canopies into luminous public landmarks, balancing architectural definition and long-term outdoor durability for civic plaza developments.
