Exterior and façade lighting for a landmark headquarters, and the first project of Kolinka Lighting Bureau in Kazakhstan: light integrated into a layered glass and metal façade, designed with the architect and the façade engineer, then built, installed and commissioned in an extreme climate.
Light lines in a glass skin
Vertical lines of light run behind the glass fins of the façade, colour-controllable, so that the whole building reads as a field of light by night.
The media façade concept
Concept studies for the building as a media volume: light points and lines along the floor plates and the glass envelope.
