A&G Office Building: Architectural Lighting as a Tool for Ergonomics and Identity

The lighting design for the A&G POWERING CONSTRUCTION office building stands as a prime example of how architectural lighting can enhance functionality, ergonomics, and the aesthetic character of a modern workplace. In this approach, light is not treated as a decorative element, but as a structural component of the architectural experience.

Functionality & Ergonomics in Office Lighting

The lighting study was based on the principles of the European standard EN 12665, ensuring balanced illumination levels and optimal visual comfort. Through detailed photometric analysis, the precise lighting requirements of each space were defined, creating an environment that supports focus, productivity, and well-being.

The luminaires were selected for their functional efficiency, energy performance, and overall aesthetic coherence with the interior design. Special attention was given to minimizing glare (UGR<19), achieving a pleasant and restful visual experience that enhances concentration and comfort for the occupants.

Light and Aesthetic Identity

The building’s industrial interior aesthetic is expressed through custom-made luminaires designed specifically for the project, reflecting the space’s identity in a subtle yet defining way. Clean lines, material textures, and the geometry of the fixtures act as an extension of the architecture, reinforcing the sense of authenticity and character that defines the space.

Lighting at the Roof Garden

In the roof garden area, which houses the building’s restaurant, lighting takes on a more atmospheric tone. Concealed warm lighting, plant highlights, and decorative fixtures with industrial references create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, transforming the space as night falls.

Light, Technology & Experience

The overall lighting design highlights the architectural integrity of the building while promoting user well-being and sustainability. It delivers a holistic lighting experience. Functional by day, atmospheric by night—always emphasizing detail and quality.

From the natural daylight that fills the interiors to the artificial and night lighting of the roof garden, the building continuously transforms, demonstrating how light can bridge technology and the human experience.
