Different spaces.
Different requirements.
Modern work environments consist of areas for concentration, communication, meetings, and social interaction. Each space has its own specific requirements for lighting, operation, sun protection, and indoor comfort.
onework considers these functions holistically and develops solutions that adapt to usage, architecture, and technical conditions.
Individual & Group Offices
Workplaces require uniform, glare-free lighting and a lighting system that accommodates different tasks and individual needs.
Open Space
Open spaces thrive on clearly defined zones. Lighting and spatial functions should flexibly support workspaces, communication areas, and changing uses.
Meeting Rooms
Meetings, presentations, and video conferences each have different requirements for lighting, sun protection, and operation. Scenes create clear and reproducible conditions for these situations.
Reception & Communication
This is where orientation, representation, and atmosphere come together. Lighting sets accents, enhances the spatial effect, and creates a clear transition to adjacent areas.
Lounge Areas
Break and communication areas require a different lighting effect than traditional workstations. A key factor is creating a pleasant environment and adapting to changing uses.
Hallways & Common Areas
Circulation areas and ancillary spaces connect different zones. Lighting and automation should be tailored to usage, occupancy, and adjacent areas, without running at full capacity all the time.
Situation
Work is changing. Lighting must keep pace.
Modern office and work environments are characterized by changing tasks, hybrid work models, and spaces used for different purposes. At the same time, many people spend a large part of their day indoors, sometimes with limited access to natural light.
Fixed lighting can only meet these requirements to a limited extent. Concentration, communication, meetings, and relaxation all require different lighting conditions. Added to this are requirements for visual comfort, computer work, and support for the natural rhythm of the day.
Solution
Light adapts to usage, time of day, and people.
Human Centric Lighting combines dynamic brightness and variable color temperatures with the actual use of the space. Energizing light in the morning, focused task lighting throughout the day, and calmer lighting atmospheres later in the day support different needs as the day progresses.
When combined with occupancy detection, daylight, and building automation, lighting, sun protection, and other room functions can respond as needed. This creates work environments that adapt flexibly to usage, situation, and time of day.
Daylight-Oriented
Usage-based
Different lighting conditions are provided for workstations, meetings, communication, and rest periods.
Automated
Can be individually overridden
Benefits
Light that noticeably supports work.
Better Concentration
Dynamic lighting conditions can promote alertness and help people concentrate on their work. Light quality plays a particularly important role during periods of high cognitive demand.
Greater visual comfort
Appropriate illuminance levels, suitable light colors, and effective glare control improve visual conditions and reduce eye strain during computer work.
Greater Well-Being
Lighting that more closely follows the natural rhythm of the day helps create a more pleasant work environment and can have a positive effect on mood and satisfaction.
Greater Mindfulness
Stimulating light can help maintain alertness and attention, especially in the morning and in the afternoon.
Greater Energy Efficiency
LED technology, the use of natural light, and demand-based controls reduce unnecessary operating times and lower energy consumption.
More Flexibility
Different activities, room zones, and usage times can be supported with appropriate lighting and room scenarios without requiring rigid operating modes.
The difference is obvious.
Modern office lighting does more than just adjust the brightness in a room. It improves orientation, visual quality, and atmosphere, and creates lighting conditions that better adapt to the room's use and the time of day.
