The lighting design creates a serial, industrial, flexible linear basic structure in the area of the ceiling with a classic lighting strip system, which allows for intake of a wide variety of lighting components as well as electrical components. The minimization of the stylistic devices of lighting technology puts emphasis on the space and forms the stage for the manifold use of the newly created Bauhaus space. The general light works with the democratic-diffused light. The exhibition design in the collection area works in the staged light-directed light.

The ground floor with the temporary exhibition aims at opening up technically and spatially. The staging of art gives the viewer space to classify the object in a local context. The visual relationship with the city and the park is integrated into the presentation. The Bauhaus is not just building and art history but is calibrated in the now.

Artificial interior lighting design was provided for a new boutique of the fashion luxury brand Antonioli. The lighting approach provides a regular grid of surface mounted linear lighting combined with surface spotlights as accents for product presentation. The clean, minimalistic and graphical ceiling design blends with the elegant and honest interior architecture and is visually multiplied in the reflective surfaces. The lighting at 3000K provides a neutral yet welcoming atmosphere, while a high CRI allows for merchandise colours to stand out giving eye catching accents.

The library derives its unique appearance from the buildings shape and materiality of its façade. Aluminium louvers provide a generous transparency whilst the elegant solid volumes give weight. Pole mounted flood lights with precise lighting optics cast a subtle and even wash to the facade louvres. Optics and angles were chosen to keep glare towards people within the building to a minimum while maximising the lighting effect on the louvers. Ceilings of the large access corridors leading to the central courtyard are evenly accentuated to provide a sense of orientation and generosity. The bright ceilings open the space up visually and provide the adequate light for wayfinding and comfort.

The new Wuyuanhe Stadium is situated at the southern island of Hainan, China. The building provides seats for more than 41,000 visitors and was developed on an extremely fast project schedule with a construction time of 15 month only. The iconic building was designed to blend into the surrounding architectural, cultural and costal landscape of Hainan. The architectural lighting provides a key role of the building’s success, enhancing visually the flowy and dynamic as well as the solid structures. Light contributes to subconscious wayfinding tasks for spectators and allows communication with the city via a low-resolution media component.
