The organic curves of this 3D printed building by T.ZED architects conceal an interior where a minimalist material palette converses with the outside landscape. Inside, technical lighting accentuates the textures and subtle architectural elements, while fixtures including Super Line and Vincent Van Duysen’s Infra-Structure help strategically illuminate the spaces.
When appointed to renovate the space for international delegations to the Dubai Future Foundation, T.ZED Architects wanted to pay homage to the original fabrication as the first 3D printed building in Dubai. Internally, this meant using subtle, diffused light to highlight the space.
Flexibility was paramount within this project as each structure needed to serve multiple purposes. This required a careful selection of lighting solutions that would fit the flow of rooms.
Designed by Vincent Van Duysen, Infra Structure Episode 2 casts an even glow over the large, shared desks in the office area. Its elegant presence immediately defines the room as a workspace.
Micro Running Magnet flows along the walls to complement the vertical surfaces. Occasionally spotlights can be directed to highlight different details and objects.
Employed with a trimless mount to provide discreet recessed downlighting, KAP Trimless provides an understated solution and comfortable, glare-free light that lets the space speak for itself.
