DESIGN PILLARS
Architectural intent meets lighting precision.
Service 01
Lighting Design
Phase 01 | Concept Design & Narrative
We begin by defining the soul of the space. By analyzing the architecture, materials, and user flow, we develop a visual narrative that establishes the emotional tone and atmospheric layers of the project.
Phase 02 | Schematic Design & Engineering
In this phase, we ground the vision in technical data. We provide:
-
Lighting Layouts: Precise positioning of all architectural light sources.
-
Lighting Calculations: Dialux simulations to ensure optimal lux levels and visual comfort.
-
Control Strategy: Conceptual wiring and zoning drawings to define how the light responds to the user.
Phase 03 | Tender & IFC
We deliver a comprehensive technical package ready for execution. This stage includes:
-
Detailed Technical Drawings: 2D/3D integration details to hide sources and eliminate glare.
-
Lighting Fixture Schedule: A meticulous, brand-independent specification list tailored to the project’s budget and quality.
-
IFC Documentation: Fully coordinated sets that leave no room for error on-site.
Phase 04 | Implementation
We stay with the project until the very end. Our consultancy includes:
-
Procurement Support: Evaluating offers and ensuring the right products are sourced.
-
Site Supervision: On-site inspections to oversee correct installation and detailing.
-
Aiming & Commissioning: The final tuning of every beam and scene to achieve the perfect atmosphere.
Service 02
Daylighting
Phase 01 | Climate & Site Analysis
We analyze the project’s location and solar path:
-
Solar Geometry: How the sun interacts with the building's orientation.
-
Shading Study: Potential overshadowing from surroundings.
-
Contextual Insight: Baseline for year-round natural light.
Phase 02 | Form & Façade
We collaborate with the architect to optimize the building envelope for daylight:
-
Aperture Analysis: Evaluating window-to-wall ratios for deep light penetration without thermal discomfort.
-
Passive Shading: Designing louvers or overhangs to mitigate solar heat gain.
-
Initial Simulations: Preliminary sDA checks to validate the massing strategy.
Phase 03 | Modeling & Compliance
Using Computational Daylight Modeling (CBDM), we transition to high-precision simulations:
-
CBDM Simulations: Calculating critical metrics like sDA (daylight sufficiency) and ASE (glare/overheating risk).
-
Material & Glazing Spec: Testing glass types (VLT) and surface reflectances to fine-tune light behavior.
-
Visual Comfort: Predicting potential glare issues and proposing precise solutions.
Phase 04 | Control & Validation
The final stage ensures natural and artificial light work in perfect harmony:
-
Sensor Placement: Optimizing daylight sensor locations to maximize energy savings.
-
Harvesting Logic: Defining how artificial lights dim or switch based on available daylight.
-
Performance Report: A comprehensive document confirming biological health and energy efficiency standards.
Philosophy
Light is more than illumination, it is a sculpting tool.
Our independent approach masterfully balances light and shadow, treating darkness not as an absence, but as a powerful narrative element. Through high-contrast atmospheres and technical precision, we don't just light a space; we reveal its true architectural soul.
