The lighting design is a standout element that transforms the venue. It defines spatial transitions, highlights architectural volumes, and revitalizes previously unused basement areas. By using dynamic and flexible lighting, the space encourages curiosity and allows for multiple configurations depending on the event, making the venue adaptable for a wide range of performances.

Dogus Auto Technology

Smart architectural design of the façade and the interior lighting details empower the feeling of transparency in all directions. During daytime, the structure reflects the images and movements of the natural environment and the lighting around itself. During night time, the concrete structure is successfully melted with the occupancy lighting.

Tema Headquarters

The architectural design considered to create simple and spacious volumes for long working hours. Lighting design also aimed to follow and improve within these principles. According to the simplicity and affordability concept of the open office design, lighting design kept this concept with a direct/indirect linear lighting system that continues all around a story which also emphasizes the office’s main character.

Borusan Showroom Samandira

After heading to the TEM highway and analyzing the building’s surrounding environment, our main approach to the lighting design concept would be what one can perceive at a glance while speeding passed the building along the highway. With this, we felt it would be best to highlight the two monoblock buildings to extract them from their chaotic surrounding.

Kahve Dünyası Veliefendi Fabrika

A new branch of one of the most well-known coffee shop chain in Turkey was opened in 2016 with a new ‘’factory’’ concept. In this new branch, you may also have a chance to learn the process until you reach a cup of coffee. Just like the combination of aroma and the taste of coffee, factory, and social areas are balanced as one place. Lighting design concept is improved by this combination idea.

The concept is primarily based on the digital world in the sci-fi movie Tron.
