PROJECTS

Gubelstrasse Underpass City of Zug, Switzerland

In public spaces, lighting plays a crucial role in the safety of citizens. A well-planned lighting design can help prevent accidents, crime and improve the sense of security in streets, parks, squares and other public spaces. In addition, proper lighting also enhances the architectural and landscape beauty of these places, creating a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. Our recent project transformed a challenging public space, adhering to stringent street norms while navigating severely limited placement possibilities for lighting. The result? A brighter, safer, and more inviting environment for everyone. The project is full of details, stories and a great team and client.

New Street lighting Alpen - / Gotthard- / Erlend-/ Pilatus- / Bundesstrasse City of Zug, Switzerland

A comprehensive lighting concept was developed to enhance the revitalized infrastructure connecting the main railway station and adjacent streets. Driven by the question of optimal illumination, the design strategically distributes light according to street lighting standards. The "Portals" has a reference to the Torii Gates in Japan, that connect the main Station with the lake. (Earth - Water) it concept intentionally conceived as a subtle and complementary element to James Turrell's installation within the station, fostering a harmonious interplay between light and art. This was achieved through the careful selection of lens optics and thorough lighting calculations. Furthermore, the design language of the luminaires draws inspiration from the natural environment, subtly echoing plant elements in their form, creating a visual connection with the surrounding landscape. The landscape design was envisioned by Bbz Landscape architects, with lighting concept development till execution planning led by Paula (at that time working for mati AG), and the final implementation carried out by WWZ

In the case of governmental spaces, efficient lighting not only complies with safety and visual comfort regulations, but also communicates the identity and values of the City. Some of the objectives of this project are the following. Optimization of traffic connections for people, support for the orientation of passers-by, use of special directional reflectors to accentuate the textures and architectural rhythms, respecting Dark Sky standards and a clear reading of the place and use. The concept was executed as an employee of mati AG. Executed in cooperation with Nachtaktiv.

Karate Dojo Kimura Shukokai International Adliswil, Switzerland

Good lighing in a training place is fundamental. Lighting can support not only the way a space look, but also helps to activate our body while we do sports. The idea of the additional lighting design concept, was to acentuate the character of the japanese culture on the space on the reception area. For that, we designed and produced a special handmade casing adding soft accents with indirect lighting. The implementation of LED Retrofits, was in order to improve the life spam and energy usage and finally we suggested extra lighting on the second training room, to increase the lighting levels.

Art Projects diverse places and events.

Through the use of lighting technologies, as an artist we create immersive environments that challenge the traditional perception of space and light. Light installations can take various forms, from projections and shadow plays to three-dimensional structures that interact with the environment.

Developing the lighting design for a home is important for several fundamental reasons. Firstly, the right lighting can significantly improve the ambience and functionality of a home.

SPECIAL LUMINAIRES

Developing a special tailored luminaire means creating a light fixture specifically designed to meet unique requirements, where form genuinely follows function. Our process begins by understanding the precise lighting need – where and what kind of light is required – and building the luminaire's design and technology around that core purpose.
