At the start of the project, the building at Fuglevangsvej in Horsens had not been altered since its construction back in 1977. The renovation of the building has included the exposure of roof structures, new facades with new entrances and new surfaces throughout. The project includes both a new company headquarters and production facilities.

The project architecture is simple, rough and industrial. The building has features such as visible steel rafters, and the idea was that lighting should be used to supplement and consolidate each element.

Louis Poulsen designed a lighting proposal in the project phase which very precisely defined the intention where striplights, for example, emphasise the rafters in a super-elegant way.

Louis Poulsen has acted as lighting consultant from the earliest stages of the project. The result is a holistic and consistent lighting project that emphasises the architecture and function of every space. The striplights provide excellent general lighting in the open-plan office while AJ Floor has been placed in seating areas to create an attractive ambience and signal tranquillity as well as a dedicated space for conversation or concentration.

The lighting contributes to creating the atmosphere required in different spaces. Much thought has gone into establishing the areas where lighting needs to be practical and where it needs to create atmosphere and hygge.
