One meets all
FlexOffice Basel, Switzerland
The approach to lighting and acoustic planning for the
FlexOffice in the Messeturm Basel ran contrary to classic
workplace concept planning. FlexOffice was based on
a transformative spatial concept where future tenants
enjoy enormous flexibility (thanks to modular adaptation
of the rooms) while simultaneously saving energy. In
addition to the flexible, demand-oriented, resource-saving
requirements of a modern workplace, it was important
to the owners of FlexOffice to consider the sensual and
emotional components. Three lighting components (direct,
indirect, and atmospheric light) were therefore developed
for the MOVE IT 45 system to fulfil these requirements.
This enables classic work zones, communicative meeting
places, and vertical areas to be individually illuminated and
controlled.
DALI lighting control makes a significant contribution to re-
ducing resource consumption while daylight and presence
control are energy-optimised thanks to the programmed
swarm function. This means that if only one person is still
at the workstation, the lighting modules on the ceiling are
operated concentrically with reduced power around the
employee.
