Design Process

At Lichtvision, a team of lighting experts comprising of lighting designers, technicians, architects, industrial designers, and electrical engineers, skilfully handles lighting projects encompassing daylight, artificial light, visual media, and lighting controls worldwide.
Our approach blends passion, experience, creativity, technical know-how, and intuition with scientific principles.

Beginning with collaborative dialogue, Lichtvision engages partners to define project requirements and design parameters, thus refining the planning process. This comprehensive method applies universally, from international to local projects, ensuring seamless integration of light as a multi-dimensional medium. Beyond mere photometric precision, Lichtvision emphasizes the harmonious fusion of luminaire design, technically and aesthetically, with architectural elements.

Daylighting

Daylight holds increasing significance in the planning process regarding sustainability and well-being. Beyond mere technical components, effective daylighting solutions revolve around architectural principles, evaluating openings like windows, skylights, and atriums.

Lichtvision initiates daylight designs with sketches, reference images, and daylight simulations during the concept phase, facilitating discussions and coordination of the design. Fine-tuning occurs through adjustments to architecture and interior design based on these simulation results.

Specific parameters, such as glazing properties and sun protection systems, are then considered. Lichtvision collaborates with architects and façade designers, creatively and technically optimising envisioned solutions. In further planning stages, detailed solutions and product suggestions are offered, providing valuable support through site supervision.

Artificial Lighting

With vast experience in national and international artificial lighting projects, Lichtvision employs effective communication tools like dialogue, hand sketches, and reference images in the concept phase.

By investigating materials and spatial arrangements, specific design objectives for light quality are established.The schematic phase involves precise photometric calculations and coordination with other building trades, reflected in concept reports, CAD drawings, and lighting control descriptions.

Design development incorporates insights from electrical and structural engineers. Tender documents adhere to local regulations, and Lichtvision supports clients in award negotiations, considering alternatives while ensuring targeted lighting qualities. During construction, hands-on experience, and mock-ups aid in providing necessary support, solidifying Lichtvision’s commitment to delivering exceptional lighting solutions.

Visual Media

The digitalization of light opens up a new application area, combining classical façade lighting with media facades. A strong concept is central to designing a dynamic media façade, complemented by software solutions to realise the content.
Most often budget constraints, closely tied to resolution and pixel count, impact content display and the overall lighting plan. Lichtvision addresses these constraints early on, ensuring both content and budget requirements align in the concept phase. The client is presented with 3D animations showcasing the concepts. In the schematic design phase, Lichtvision determines the optimal lighting, control, and playback systems. Before the design development phase, mock-ups are used to confirm the visual quality of the concept

Sustainability

Energy doesn’t just grow on trees? Well, not exactly. But by implementing daylight wisely, electric light can be spared, and so can the environment. This doesn’t only reduce costs and saves trees, but also improves physical well-being.

Lichtvision’s lighting design will optimize the energy efficiency of a building. This increase in sustainability provides an excellent long-term value, and assists in achieving the coveted seals of approval from BREEAM to LEED to ESTIDAMA. Light lives long…when planned sustainably, and with the environment and economy equally in focus. Our sound lighting design ensures just that.

With less maintenance, upkeep and cleaning, there isn’t any need for costly interventions. Economic efficiency and environmental responsibility are finally brought together in a harmonious balance. In this case, a penny saved is a penny earned for the world.
