Technical Design A team of engineers and designers who work with passion. The Technical Design team participates in the entire design process: from the initial assumptions, through the concept and implementation, all the way to the project’s finalization. It provides support for both domestic and foreign markets. Lighting design is primarily about responsibility for the final result and taking into account all of the functional, legal, and visual aspects. The interdisciplinary team is made up of people with the relevant expertise and many years of experience. The goal is to merge artistic visions with strict technical standards and requirements. By searching for answers among the possibilities offered by the latest technologies, the Technical Design team creates impressive, customized solutions.
The power of light can be observed in every molecule that exists on our planet. Without it, life itself would not exist, not even in its most primitive form. The dualistic concept of light, according to which it is both a wave and a molecule, has rapidly changed the way of  perceiving time and space. It is said that nature abhors a vacuum; it can be live-giving, but also merciless.
Complexity Every project is a new challenge. We approach each one of them comprehensively and individually. A proper understanding of how each facility is used is the basis for selecting the right lighting. When designing a lighting system, we strive to best reflect its character and functionality. Computer visualizations, mock-ups, and 3D models made to scale are a great way to present the ideas of a lighting designer.

Three-dimensionality The casino building stands out visually among the typical architecture of this region. Therefore, a key element of the lighting design was to maintain consistency with its shape, form, and function.
”The biggest challenge for our design team was how to present the chosen solution to the client. That’s why we decided to approach the issue in a rather unusual way – in only 2 weeks, we created a scale model with the final result, at the same time presenting the lighting control system for the entire facility. The idea turned out to be a hit and a few weeks later, the colorful luminaires from the solution we selected were installed on the façade of the casino.” Marcin Cichoń

Glowing architecture The first illumination of its kind in the province of Cádiz – no previous illuminations have been as spectacular and technologically advanced. The dynamically changing façade lighting creates the effect of a luminous glow that is visible from quite a large distance, intriguing with the shapes it takes on.

Inspiration from nature An example of a project where lighting is definitely in the foreground, transforming the casino into a theater of light. Each separate zone retains its individual character, creating various light sceneries. Especially for this project, new, uniquely-shaped luminaires called PEACOCK were designed, developed, and manufactured.

Circadian system success This project was based entirely on luminaires with CIRCADIAN technology. As a result, the emitted light effectively helps conference and lecture participants focus on the events they attend at the convention center. The lighting components were designed according to the investor’s special order. The luminaire parameters were adjusted to the non-standard assumptions of the project. The investment included the key conference room with an area of over 1,200 m2, as well as common spaces, such as the foyer. The circadian rhythm of life has accompanied man from the earliest days of his functioning on Earth. Getting up with the rising sun and falling asleep with the sunset has shaped the human hormonal balance. Nowadays, we set higher and higher demands and challenges for ourselves, leading to the necessity of an existence amid artificial light.

The definition of technology Anything but a typical project due to lacking current technical documentation. The building’s location in the vicinity of a water reservoir imposes additional technical restrictions on the designed lighting. The team performed measurements on site and prepared the necessary technical documentation. This made it possible to create an offer in express speed, all in line with the client’s needs. LED luminaires with increased resistance parameters were proposed as a solution, which allowed for raising working comfort and reducing electricity consumption. These products’ extended service life means no need for maintenance for the next 10 years.

A shiny pearl This is a very characteristic building that is deeply rooted in the consciousness of Varsovians. Its total revitalization required a lighting concept that would not interfere with the original architectural assumptions. The conceptual design of the modern lighting was created in harmony with the existing building. The light effect brandishes and highlights the construction of the inverted dome.

Soft lighting Conceptual design that assumes the consistency of the lighting with the building’s form. The idea emphasizes the horizontal character of the façade blinds. Dynamically changing light lines give the entrance area an air of lightness and a representative appearance. They give the building’s shape a more modern character.

A smart solution Raising environmental awareness is one of the greatest challenges facing societies in the 21st century. This issue should be approached holistically, as human activity and nature’s self-determination are destined for a coexistence that can, sadly, sometimes be antagonizing. Thanks to advanced lighting technology, raising people’s working standards does not have to happen at the expense of nature – quite the contrary.

A light spectacle A concept for lighting various spaces: the audience, the stage, the proscenium, as well as the aisles – all the while keeping in mind the natural environment of the bats living in the vicinity of the amphitheater. The project included eliminating glare for both humans and animals. The result was an interesting spectacle of streams of light. The lighting control ensured the smooth transition between different lighting modes adapted to current needs.

The calculation process We strive to ensure that the offers developed by the Technical Design team are tailored using the right combination of content and form. In our case, the content is made up of calculations, technical solutions, executive designs, as well as the architect’s concepts and ideas. The calculations and technical solutions form the specific basis for the design. Thanks to them, we can verify the validity of the proposed solutions, analyzing whether the basic normative parameters are met, such as the proper lighting intensity, uniformity, and the influence light has on people. Because light should have a positive influence on the well-being, comfort, and health of each of us.

The goal: 1000 lx The requirements set by the customer focused on an immense amount of light needed at cosmetics testing points. The final challenge turned out to be achieving lighting uniformity on the given calculation area - 1000 lx on a calculation surface. Unique luminaire structures with a characteristic form give the interior a truly special atmosphere. The project included delivering zigzag-shaped luminaires.

Visual power ”The form, on the other hand, through which we free our emotions, making concepts and architectural ideas real and visible, lies in visualizations – both digital, made using graphics programs, as well as physical ones, created manually. They make it possible to give customers, architects and investors a closer look at the implemented lighting solutions, which use light scenes, lighting control, light and shadow play, and illuminations to convey the usefulness and beauty of the places they illuminate.” Kamil Gajewski

Panama Bridge A modern concept for the illumination of a bridge in Panama that stands out amid the panorama of the city. A solution that allowed for the creation of dynamically changing light scenes. The idea was to highlight the characteristic elements of the bridge’s construction. The conceptual design fulfilled the strictest standards for lighting infrastructure facilities. The adopted solution makes it possible to remote control both the road and illumination lighting. What great engineering wonders can be created by man in order to  facilitate the free flow of people, capital, goods, and ideas? The Panama Canal was built at the beginning of the twentieth century and opened new trade routes for ships, significantly lowering the prices of the transported goods, as it was no longer necessary for them to circle the entire South America continent.
