“ Our office is UNK project’s business card, which is why we’re looking in
our design to present an image of an innovative company which is in step
with the latest trends in design and environmentally friendly planning.
Philips Lighting not only allowed us to gain maximum ergonomics and
efficiency, but has turned these former industrial premises into a welcoming
and comfortable place to work, to relax and to meet clients.”

Background
Philips has designed and implemented a lighting system for the new
office of UNK project. The opening of the new office has been timed to
coincide with the 15th birthday of the architectural and design company.
The challenge
The main objective of the project was to turn the former industrial
premises into a comfortable office where light helps staff to come
up with creative solutions and to concentrate on their drawings.
The Philips adaptive system of lighting which supports the company’s
business processes also provides a pleasant atmosphere for staff to
relax in and meet with clients. As a result of the project, the office
of the architectural company UNK project is not just a workplace,
but also a showroom and a platform for experiments in lighting.
The solution
The comprehensive approach to lighting arrangement and the choice
of individual designs for different types of rooms allowed Philips
staff to create optimum working conditions for the architectural
company. The foyer is equipped with luminous textile panels built
into the reception desk. The dynamic lighting, whose content can
be controlled from a smartphone, breathes life into the office space
and also underlines that the company is in touch with the latest
developments on the market for light engineering and lighting design.
Changing light scenarios are also provided for the rest area on the
second floor.
The dynamic lighting provided by the Color Kinetics LED solutions
creates a special atmosphere in the space, which can be changed
to match the preferences of the staff. In the working area of the
office, the lighting is provided by StyliD luminaires and spotlights,
which are capable of delivering an evenly bright light thanks
to modern optical technology. In the large conference room,
Savio luminaires have been incorporated with controllable light
temperatures and lighting levels. In the UNK project office café, the
interior is complemented by myLiving pendant luminaires, giving this
zone a more homely look & feel.
