Hospitality
Guest rooms, apartments, corridors and facades. Light that conveys sophistication and is at the same time welcoming and comfortable.
Restaurants
Dining rooms where the lighting makes the atmosphere.
Museums and art galleries
Where light guides the visitor and lets the art be seen within the rules of conservation.
Heritage and monuments
Lighting that contributes to preservation and does not only make the building visible: it adds to its worth at night.
Squares and public space
Meeting places and landmarks, where light supports spatial recognition and orientation at night.
Commercial and workplace
Offices and petrol stations: the luminous environment is an essential factor in the workplace. The right light in the right place can raise the productivity and alertness of the people using it, and it can also be an interesting way of drawing customers in.
Lighting masterplans
The scale at which light stops being a project and becomes part of urban design. Diana Delnegro coordinated Lisbon's first lighting masterplan, still awaiting implementation; the lighting of Porto's ring of medieval walls was designed to reshape the night image of the city; and in Porto Alegre the studio designed, with three other lighting designers, the lighting of 55 cultural landmarks of the historic centre, taken as one set rather than as 55 separate commissions. Diana Delnegro chairs the CIE technical committee for urban architectural lighting and has taught the CIE guide to urban lighting masterplans in Italy, in 2022, and at the Istanbul conference in May 2023.
Every project begins with the architecture, the place and the experience of the night. Concept and atmosphere are developed alongside rigorous analysis, calculation and technical coordination.
