Inova Fairfax Hospital South Patient Tower Rotunda

Falls Church, Virginia
Artist: Kenneth vonRoenn, Jr.
Budget: $50,000
Timeline: June 2011 – January 2013

DAS collaborated with artist Kenneth vonRoenn Jr. to design a memorable sculpture that complements both the design and transparency of the rotunda while also creating a unique identity for the new tower. The 16’h x 7’w dichroic glass sculpture visually floats in the space while continually reflecting and refracting light. As the sun moves and the light changes from day to night, saturated color shadows splash the rotunda walls extending the effect of the ever changing meditative rings. Light play provides elements of continual discovery and mesmerizing views from multiple angles and levels.
