Outdoor and urban spaces

The Dronten project began with the design of a lighting masterplan for the entire city centre, which was currently being redeveloped. This masterplan was used to develop an overall concept combining all lighting aspects, which are usually studied separately, such as functional lighting, decorative lighting, festive lighting, architectural lighting, wayfinding lighting and commercial lighting.

This work is part of the study to define the urban masterplan for the eastern part of the La Défense district in Paris, as part of a large multidisciplinary team comprising architects, town planners, landscape architects, engineers and urban developers. The aim of the study was to analyse the existing situation and current projects, and to define coherent and relevant development principles and priorities for the coming years.

The collaboration with the Studio d'Urbanisme Jean-Pierre Majot began with the creation of lighting masterplans for the following communes of Brussels: Schaerbeek, Etterbeek, Evere, Uccle and Forest. We were in charge for sketching out the lighting schemes for the major urban sites and the illuminations of the main heritage sites in each municipality.

The lighting scheme for the centre of La Louvière, the Abelville district and the former Boch site was made as a part of a multi-disciplinary team commissioned to draw up and implement the master plan for the urban regeneration of the town of La Louvière.

The aim of the lighting is to create a high-quality, cosy atmosphere, recreating intimate spaces reminiscent of interior spaces, so as to support the reappropriation of these public spaces neglected by the population.
