PROCESS

Every project starts with a vision. It takes often departure from daylight analysis and optimisation for a given site. Thereafter, looking into state-of-the-art technology solutions for electric lighting.

To unravel the potential of a lighting design project it is all about collaborations. Mihkel works with a wide range of specialists, amongst others architects, urban planners, researchers, electrical engineers and product designers. 


Imagine

What is the ultimate outcome? How can a lighting design solution solve a functional problem, create atmosphere, identity, or even a memory?

Explore

Research, either it is scientific or visual, is always a must. Gathering state-of-the-art knowledge and inspiration gives shape to a project. Often in parallel with daylight and on-site analysis, sketching and testing.

Construct

In this stage, project has taken form and final lighting calculations and planning takes place, before giving the project over to electrical engineers and installers towards completion of the project.
