ABOUT ME Landscape Architecture and Lighting Design are my passion, I am always curious about the interplay of natural and built environment, and how light affects those, how it can transform any space. My strengths are: conceptual thinking, idea generation and design visualization. I am particularly interested in skatepark design, where I see a great potential for combining natural elements, built environment and unconventional, innovative lighting in order to create physically and socially active spaces.

El Prat de Llobregat is a settlment next to Barcelona. Latter is the european core of skateboarding with many world famous skate spots. Not only Barcelona, but entire Catalonia is a leader in skatepark integration into the urban tissue. The main objective of this project was to refurbish an old, underdeveloped park, and provide recreational facilities to the popular skateboard subculture in a way, that non-skaters can enjoy the space as well. Besides the skate elements, the new design of the park incorporates car parking, easy accessibility, trees, benches and a closed dog park.

The park’s functionality is designed to entice different cultural groups and a wide range of generation.
A sports field lighting is always exclusive and the proposed design has to live up to stricter official standards. In this case special attention was payed for a higher (0.6) uniformity with minimum 35 lux illumination everywhere. The project also focused on minimizing the flickering effect of LED fixtures. Latter is important for safety reasons during the act of extreme sports, furthermore a smooth, continous lighting is crucial for quality video
recording. As skaters often record themselves doing tricks, many times in slow motion, the lighting design had to serv their needs. In the final proposal the lighting, according to all the requirements, were executed with the Santa & Cole Arne LED fixture.

Passeig de Cypsella - Llafranc Spain - Palafrugell
This promenade renewal project with Santa & Cole involved not only lighting, but landscaping a as well. The entire image of the area has been redesigned including facades, sidewalks and the
6
and urban planning road
The project area has been declared to a nature reserve in 2012, therefore strict regulations applied to it, regarding any sort of intervention. We at Santa & Cole took the lighting plan over from another Spanish lighting design company for revision and ended up significantly involved into the project. We delivered a new, updated lighting scheme taking the lighting pollution related regulations into consideration. We cut off light from several places, especially the beach, and the areas further towards the water, which are habitats of a great population of nocturnal birds. We proposed shorter light poles to prevent light trespassing, and lower illumination values which fit the project initiatives better. Eventually due to my contribution to this urban development project Santa & Cole delivered a revised lighting design, a planting proposal, and visualizations of the proposals. (See below)

Rules of the road Park Hungary - Törökbálint
This particular project has been delivered as an extrication of a malignant neighbourship over land use. For several years multiple neigbouring property owners claimed ownership or righ of use over the municipality owned area. In 2014 the municipality decided to renovate and open the field as public park. Törökbálint’s vehicle traffic is heavy, and the municipality started a campaign where they promoted save transportation, and raised caution on streets especially among children and the young generation. The concept of the project was to build a park where kids can easily learn the rules of the road. I cooperated with the senior landscape architect and helped him in the process with: site measurements, alignment and plan drawing. Later I escorted the plan

Roskilde festival 2016 Denmark - Roskilde
The old Viking harbour settlement near the Danish capital Copenhagen is annually a venue of a great music and art festival. Every year hundreds of thousands of people, numerous known musicians and other artists visit Roskilde festival. In 2016 as second semester lighting designer students we submitted an application and earned the opportunity to design a festival districts lighting. The overall design scheme of 2016 was “excess�, which materialized in our design in bold color combinations, and extravagant shapes.

Intersection
Wayfinding The design principal was to guide people on their way throughout the art district. At several points we illuminated vertical objects, creating a reassuring feeling, and providing a well visible beacon. Lit tree alleys diverged from highligthed intersections, custom made light cubes enticed to the darkness among the buildings and made people stop and observe and socialize around the light. The installation adapted to daylight, and operated with a different color scheme each night. As a passive feedback, it was nice to see that people indeed started to gather around the installations, occupied the space, established conversations, or just used the lit elements as meeting points when they lost each other in the whirl of the festival.

Aalborg University Copenhagen Bridge Denmark - Copenhagen
As first semester lighting designer students, we worked on redesigning the lights of the campus bridge, in a group of three. Our project goal was to add value to the AAU CPH brand, and to create an icon for our campus and for our master course as well.
Our proposal provides a versatile design. Rendered images:

We approached the design challenges from a practical aspect and conducted several on-site tests and experiments, in order to have a better understanding of the space and its structure. Based on our proposal, AAU CPH school board financed the bridge lighting design, and we had the honor to be involved in the implementation. The final version, the completed project:

Gate of Sydhavn Denmark - Copenhagen
In the second semester of my lighting design masters we in a group of three, worked on a promotion / urban development project for the municipality of Sydhavn. The project goal was to select an area within Sydhavn, that can be transformed into the districts representative spot.
We chose the intersection of Enghavevej and O4. The transformer house there has a remarkable architectural style, while next to it a little park lies along the road which would deserve more attention. Built and natural environment has an interesting interplay there, which, we believe, with the appropriate lighting accentuation can become a landmark of Sydhavn.
Zooming in on nature - overall design approach for Sydhav Highway gates
Traffic spots
Cultural spots
“nature is leading the way”
“natural footprints in the city”
“Embracing the details of nature”
By understanding how we meet nature at different gates / spots we wish to zoom in to the appropriate level and meet people in a creative way, that will enhance the green spots of Sydhavn and create positive identity to the area and the locals there.

We have designed the “Sydhavn Log�
The Sydhavn Log is a custom designed lamp family by my project group. The idea behind them was to create a lamp that resembles a natural object, in this case a birch, thus expanding natures calming and refreshing atmosphere to the technical lighting realm. Dwarf and Fun log are for path lighting and wayfinding. Spot log has the additional function to light up vertical surfaces, specifically trees, thus revealing more from the hidden night time nature. Tall log has been designed for lighting busier points where human interaction is more likely to happen, with specific care for facial recognition. We tested different colourtemperatures on different plants, in order to find the visually most appealing light for Spot log and its spot light. We decided to equip Spot log with a
4000K white light, to render more daylight like shades without altering the plants original look much. As plants physical appearance alters from
species to species also in appropriate lighting there are deviations. Plant specific lighting from aesthetic aspect is a field which is worth to research further.
17
The logs have been designed customizable, therefore it facilitates alternative use, creates interaction. Fun log has an opaque top with a proximity sensor underneath. For a firm touch a preset “light tag� game activates, enticing children to try to catch the differently lit lamp.

Danmarks Vildeste Fiskereventyr Denmark - Esbjerg - Fiskeri- og Søfartsmuseet
In collaboration with Arthur van der Zaag and Udstillingslys.dk I have worked on the lighting design of the “Fiskeri- og Sofartsmuseet” in Esbjerg. The museum has opened a new exhibition about local fishermen, and we were responsible for the lighting from design to implementation.
I have finalized the exhibition architect’s sketchup model in terms of lighting equipment, and light tracks and I have recreated the scene in DIALux (see images on the left), and conducted preliminary lighting calculations. The final results lived up to the calculations and exceeded our expectations. All the illustrations but especially the portraits popped out amazingly well and the exhibition had a huge opening success.

Community lighting for Hyldespjældet Denmark - Albertslund
I wrote my lighting design master thesis in close collaboration with Lighting Metropolis - a Nordic lighting design initiative, Albertslund municipality, and DONG Energy (now Ørsted). I joined an urban development project, where a neighbourhood of Albertslund, Hyldespjældet’s look was planned to be refreshed respecting the existing unique characteristics. Throughout the neighbourhood, street lamps were placed randomly, lamps had different type of light sources, very different color temperatures and brightness levels. Thus the development project called for a new lighting master plan, while at the same time the municipality wanted to develop a creative, landmark lighting installation with local user involvement. I aimed to deliver a proposal to both requirements.
3D model of the cental park in Hyldespjældet
A study of Jan Gehl showed, that the neighbouring neighbourhood has 30% more human interaction, only because houses have front yards there. Hyldespjældet on the other hand has several art pieces exhibited within its area, which makes it interesting to take a walk around.
22
Therefore based on my findings on Hyldespjældet’s social dynamics, street structure, lighting needs, and unique characteristics, I have set the goal to increase social interaction outdoors in the neighbourhood by a new innovative unique lighting scheme. Street lighting proposal in two layers One is the mailbox bollards, which maintain a specific local character, while at the same time add a new alternative function to the old street furniture. They exchange the well out of date, malfunctioning fluorescent wall mounted luminaires. The real innovation though, comes with the proposed LED bars recessed in the wall gaps (which are local characteristics as well). To each apartment entrance belongs an intelligent, light bar, and the owner of the apartment has control over the one belongs to his/her apartment via a smartphone app. LED bars are customizable, can change colors and patterns. They are part of a smart home system and can indicate emergency, consumers in the household turned on received post and many other things. Their main function is, that they indicate various preset routes throughout Hyldespjældet by turning into a different color than the neutral 3000 K. The highlighted routes would be on for a few hours in the evening time, enticing people to discover the area and meat each other on the streets. Lights would lead to different places, each night, to different events. Residents, who are willing to share their household energy / water usage, could indicate that on their light bar. This facility supports the ongoing environmental friendly programs of the neighbourhood, and again, entices people outdoors on streets to take a look around, to establish discussions with their Architectural style of Hyldespjældet

I have implemented the visualization in 360° images, to provide an immersive presentation to local residents. I used Samsung VR glasses for presentation, which allows the observer to turn around, and feel themselves in the 3D environment.
24
Due to multiple factors and complications on the customers’ side, the final proposal had been revised and simplified, and I suggested smart street lamps and benches with motion detection and adaptive illuminance.
The project has been presented to residents from Hyldespjældet and to students at AAU Copenhagen and CBS. Participants found the experience exciting and joyful. “Virtual reality gives more to the eye, and conveys a detailed impression about the design, by placing the observer into the designed space. ”
