Lighting for ethical and responsible architecture
The lighting proposal was conceived to reflect the core values of the institution: sustainability, well-being, and transparency.

From a technical point of view, the design was based on energy efficiency criteria, visual comfort, and low environmental impact. Luminaires were designed with high-performance LED modules and excellent color rendering index (CRI), integrated into a control system with scene regulation, presence detection, and automatic adjustment according to daylight availability.

Each design decision contributed to generating an atmosphere aligned with Triodos’ identity—characterized by environmental warmth, formal sobriety, and spatial clarity. The lighting transcends its operational role and becomes an expressive resource that translates the project’s principles into perceptible qualities, reinforcing the architectural narrative and turning the client’s values into a tangible, coherent experience.
This project has been awarded the Health and Comfort – Green Solutions Awards for its use of healthy materials and its high thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort.
