Concept: Tetris Design and Building
Project development: Arch. Tommaso Mozzo and Arch. Luna Rinaldi (Pillet SA)
Pillet offers quality services in the field of real estate development and general contracting. A reality involving different types of professionalism: from civil engineers to architects and geotechnicians. The client’s requirement was to give a new image to their existing offices, making the space more livable and creating a more comfortable atmosphere: integrating aesthetic elements into the original industrial structure. The theme was: freeing up space and making the environment more pleasant and enjoyable.
Due to the Covid emergency, the project had to be modified: the conference room, initially designed to accommodate about fifteen people was replaced by smaller and more contained conference rooms. A coworking space and a sort of phone box for video calls were designed. Movable walls were added to separate the spaces according to the needs. The open spaces have been re-designed inserting panels separating the workstations to increase confidentiality. Furthermore, art has been used to lighten the serious tone of the working environment: a mural by the artists Tones and Defs enhances the wall of the corridors along the three floors of the building.
The idea for the lighting design was to have in the corridors and circulation areas a continuous light that would also run vertically down the columns and along the walls.
Egoluce was able to realize such a complex project, designed by the architects Tommaso Mozzo and Luna Rinaldi of Pillet.
The angles formed by the series of Rail are in fact different from each other and each of them has been custom designed, paying attention to every detail. Egoluce followed the lighting project in all the phases: from the lighting calculations made for every work-station, to the realization of all the Rail elements.
The continuous line created with Rail always follows different angles and this interplay of inclinations helps to soften the atmosphere of the office and to enlarge the spaces.
The continuity of the light is also the result of two factors: the color temperature (3000K) same for each environment and the absence of dimmability. The color temperature, neither too warm nor too cold, also contrasts the strictness of the pre-existing office and contributes to make the environment welcoming and familiar. In the workstations, the right visual comfort has been ensured while respecting a UGR<19 (Unified Glare Rating) thanks to the Rail Quadra with UGR screen.
Lighting is crucial in retail for creating an engaging and memorable customer experience. In addition to providing the right visibility of products, strategically positioning lighting points within a retail space can optimize the shopping experience, enhance the perception of the environment, and guide customers' experience by influencing their decisions. Indeed, different neuromarketing studies have shown that different lighting options affect final purchase choices.
Within professional lighting systems, there is frequent discussion surrounding the secondary optics applied to LED lights, utilized to focus, and direct light by altering its photometric distribution.
Creating comfortable and aesthetically beautiful spaces requires more than fine furnishing and accessories it is important to pay close attention to the lighting design. We often hear about dimmer and dimmable LED bulbs, spotlights, or strips. A dimmable lighting system can adjust the intensity of the light beam and switch between brighter and dimmer light, creating a new way of managing light.
