elegantly dresses the ceilings of the conference
rooms and office spaces, and lighting from a.light,
integrated with the same linearity, contrasts and
energises the whole space. Warm decorative
lighting from Luceplan, Anglepoise and Absolux
permeates the offices and the common areas,
including the kitchen, bar area, lounge, cafeteria,
and game room.
Design and corporate culture:
collaborative spaces
The spaces reflect the company’s culture. En-
couraging communication between employees,
the workspaces are multifunctional and stimulate
creativity. Rest areas, collaborative spaces and en-
tertainment venues are set up in several locations,
allowing for different ways of working. Modular
rooms host one-off or recurring events.
The open and closed spaces were designed
using moveable walls, moveable furniture, and
sit-stand workstations, allowing reconfiguration
for various open and closed spaces. Every floor
includes spaces that support these different modes
of being in the office.With employee health a prior-
ity for Vigilant, access to natural light was ensured
for all workers by using demountable glass parti-
tions. Acoustic treatments were carefully applied
in open areas to limit the intrusion of noise.
Dynamic, ambient and functional
lighting
The lighting design for the project was complex.
With so many dissimilar spaces that support
diverse tasks the goal was to create different
moods with different lighting schemes, rather
than a uniform distribution with the same lighting
levels throughout.The design was achieved through
careful fixture selection to support the function and
concept in each zone and adjustments based on a
detailed lighting model.
The lighting reads as dynamic and purposeful,
with a mixture of decorative fixtures for café and
lounge spaces and streamlined ambient and task
lighting for offices and laboratories. Lighting was
also carefully considered to complement audio-
visual requirements in meeting rooms, videoconfer-
ence rooms and multi-purpose spaces. LumiGroup
was able to offer a variety of modern and special-
ised lighting systems, in Vigilant Global’s style.
