Strøm Campus
Transforming Historic Spaces with Modern Lighting
An Office Lighting Design for Strøm Campus
Strøm Spa’s Chambly headquarters beautifully combines luxury, nature, and history bordered by the banks of the Chambly Basin. This 7,000-square-foot space highlights the power of strategic lighting design, crafted in collaboration with Strøm’s designers.
Lighting is crucial in office environments, directly impacting productivity and visual comfort. For Strøm Spa, we prioritized creating a welcoming, serene workspace. The campus’s tranquil ambiance mirrors the spa’s peaceful nature, enhancing the employee experience. Thanks to its many large windows, the building offers abundant natural ambient light into the space.
Embracing Historic Charm
Housed in a historic building from 1817, the designers aimed to preserve and celebrate its heritage. By balancing traditional and modern lighting solutions, we enhanced the building’s aesthetic appeal, honoring its history.
The head office is where employees can work together and learn from each other. The century-old building has had several vocations over the years. It has a soul and history all its own.
Project Guidelines
Strøm wanted to create a new and attractive workplace that would address the actual needs of its teams. The main goal was to create a campus where colleagues could come together to create, learn, innovate, and grow.
Our lighting goals for Strøm Spa’s offices were straightforward. We had to create beautiful illumination within the set time of four weeks while respecting the building’s special features. We followed the guidelines but faced challenges because of the nature of the existing architecture. We had to select lights that complemented the historic space while meeting modern technical requirements.
Office Illumination
We designed a tailored office lighting plan for each area. This plan matches the brand’s focus on calmness fostering comfort while boosting employees’ well-being.
We implemented energy-efficient lighting solutions throughout the office. Advanced LED technology ensures the spaces remain beautiful and functional, balancing sustainable lighting design with sophistication. This energy-saving and cost-effective approach ensured a perfect lighting solution.
First-Floor Functionality
The first floor accommodates various office spaces essential for business operations. We provided ample task lighting while maintaining a tranquil, productive ambiance. We also used adjustable LED lights with warm color temperatures tailored to Strøm’s needs. Sconces and pendant lights add extra comfort, creating a relaxing, luxurious environment.
Heritage Building Considerations
Selecting appropriate lighting for the 1800s renovated building presented unique challenges. Our team aimed to choose fixtures that matched the building’s preserved character and heritage.
Authentic Design
Strøm Spa is well-known for providing calm and wellness for people, so its headquarters had to have the same peaceful atmosphere. Suspended decorative lights harmonizing with nature created the calming atmosphere sought, enriching the experience for visitors and employees alike.
Overcoming Lighting Challengers Through Teamwork
The design teams worked closely making collaboration key to overcoming these challenges. Maintaining open communication with the interior designer allowed us to plan and execute every detail seamlessly. The choice of models required flexibility, entailing multiple conversations to refine the design.
