Designing lighting for more than a building…

Playful interplay of linear lighting integrated into the ceiling provides soft glare free illumination on work plane in training rooms.

When the Pandemic is behind us, what are the elements that bring us back to the office? Could it be the fun social spaces where we exchange our ideas, or could it be the nutritious meal that is provided by local vendors, or could it be those quiet spaces that give us the inspiration for innovative ideas? This project is about creating these spaces even before the pandemic happened and lighting is an integral part of achieving these goals. Lighting is a critical path when the client decided on taking a holistic design approach for health and wellbeing of the users. Access to nature and integration of artificial lighting with daylighting was critical design criteria throughout the design process. The campus provides counselling locations with quiet rooms for mental health sessions. Circadian lighting sets the mood for any time of the day, while daylight views helps the connection to outdoors. Use of warm and dynamic decorative fixtures in break rooms create a calm and cozy settings to mimic living rooms at home. Meeting areas create interesting spaces where coworkers can share ideas in informal settings.
