ROVASI lights up Blixen building in Aarhus, Denmark
Aarhus (Denmark) is home to Blixen, a 23,000 m2 office building designed by Arkitema Architects where more than 900 people work. Besides offices and meeting rooms, the Blixen building also contains a cafeteria, restaurant and workshop spaces.
Good lighting for the meeting rooms and workspaces was one of the essential requirements from the authorities in Aarhus when they commissioned the project. The reception areas and vertical garden were also highlighted as important elements, for which special lighting needed to be designed.
Cowi Lighting Design conducted a careful study of the building’s lighting requirements based on Human Centric Lighting design that places people and their work in the spotlight to improve the human experience and enhance comfort by creating a pleasant environment to positively impact how they work.
The team of lighting designers led by Jørgen Kjer successfully created a sense of natural light through subtle lighting from hidden or perfectly integrated luminaires.
The QUID luminaires from ROVASI were selected because they perfectly suited the minimalist look of the building’s architecture. The luminaires were customised according to instructions from the COWI team to create a working environment with comforting and pleasant lighting.
One of the many advantages of being a true manufacturer is to be able to provide customized solutions collaborating in all the project phases.
