This essentially includes the question of how little light we can use and where light should be avoided. A person can read a newspaper on a full moon night without any other light sources, as the eye adapts to the brightness. However, as soon as disruptive light sources appear in the field of vision, the ability to see is impaired. The better the visual comfort, the less light is needed to perceive the surroundings adequately.

Lighting design for DAY & LIGHT

As an independent engineering firm specialising in lighting design, we see ourselves as lighting architects.
Thoughtfully designed lighting enhances the aesthetic impact of architectural design – within the context of location and function, and from every angle.
Our planning is not guided by the quantity of light, but by its effect: spatial, atmospheric, functional. At the heart of it all is the human being – with their physiological and psychological responses to light. On this basis, we develop luminance hierarchies that structure uses, create orientation and make the design order of a project legible.

Claim

„Over the past 25 years, DAY & LIGHT has developed an interdisciplinary design culture that draws on expertise across a range of disciplines: architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, lighting design, energy-efficient design and engineering. This forms the basis of our approach to providing people with the best possible lighting in their surroundings.“

Frank Bernhard Vetter

Lighting design as a process

DAY & LIGHT plans in line with HOAI – in a structured, cross-disciplinary and BIM-compatible manner. Early involvement in design competitions or the preliminary design phase ensures planning certainty, saves time and reduces the coordination workload in later phases.
All services are designed to facilitate seamless collaboration with architecture, electrical engineering and civil engineering – from concept to implementation.

Mittenwald Art Museum – The Transformation from Post Office to Art Museum

The old post office on Bahnhofsplatz in Mittenwald is being converted into a museum for an art collection and temporary exhibitions. The aim is to preserve all the charm of the historic building.
