Between a brick church and the Antwerp academy of music stands a concrete architectural volume in the style of the 1960s.
Schoups, the major law firm that counts more than 80 collaborators, chose this building as its new headquarters. The architectural design was entrusted to Ono Architectuur in collaboration with Philip Aguirre y Otegui, Ludovic Devriendt and universal design studio, which succeeded in transforming a complex and obsolete building into a welcoming, functional, sustainable workspace that communicates with the city. The large double-height foyer has been transformed into a multifunctional space that invites people to socialise. n55 soffitto light solution with lensoptica diffuser, applied between the exposed concrete beams, provides homogeneous illumination for the entire room, guaranteeing the highest quality of light, energy sustainability and personalisation.
Mn sistema in its linear version has been placed in offices and meeting rooms, which are organised according to contemporary working requirements and which require great flexibility. This solution is ideal for environments where precise control of visual comfort and glare effects is required,
as well as very high lighting performance with minimal energy consumption. Under the porch characterised by massive concrete pillars, bacchetta magica with a custom-made carter has been installed to direct the light downwards, where the cafe tables are positioned, a place of shared hospitality between the building and the city.
n55 con lensoptica
n55, designed by Marionanni for Viabizzuno, is distinguished by its high technology, provided by the Viabizzuno-patented dynamic propeller, and its design, which offer maximum lighting quality while ensuring very low energy consumption.
Its great flexibility, ease of installation and low maintenance costs make the n55 a system that can be applied in any context.
Lensoptica glass is the result of research developed by Viabizzuno, designed by David Chipperfield Architects with the international engineering studio arup, to provide electronic light sources with high efficiency optics capable of both focused and diffused light. High efficiency is achieved by using a highly transparent material, polymethylmethacrylate, by means of catadioptric prisms designed to reflect and transmit light while minimising absorption losses.
the intentionally chosen colour for work lighting is forest green, which reminds us of sustainability, waste reduction and energy efficiency. the sense of balance between human beings, work and nature is also sought by rational and scrupulous measurement of lighting parameters.
successful offices create a narrative connection and an emotional transformation to capture people’s attention. the workplace is considered an ‘ecosystem of experiences’ designed for presence, not just frequency.
