“As what we design today is normally built in three to five years' time, we’re used to working with the future in mind. Ho .ev er the future is changing faster than ever before. To ensure we don't contribute to a ■ uuste of materials and in', estment that is no longer sustainable or appropriate in today's world, we develop strategies that not ant. anticipate the future, but possible changes to that future as well."

THE WAY WE WORK, LIVE AND RELAX IS CHANGING. THIS NEW HYBRID WORLD IS CAUSING ARCHITECTS And DEsIGNERs to rethink how we design our cities and buildings, SO THAT WE CAN CREATE pLACES THAT ENCOURAGE HEALTH AND WELLBEING. LIGHTING IS A vERY CRUCIAL ELEmENT US TO CREATE SUCH pLACES.

In a world that is in a state of constant evolution, where cutting-edge technology brings new ways of interacting and experiencing, we know that the physical need for buildings to live and work in will remain. Rather than staying static, buildings are more and more becoming a reflection of what humans crave in their daily lives and a response to many new economic, environmental and social movements. Office buildings have throughout the years gone through many transformations. From the large private offices to the private, enclosed workstations to the recent opening up of the office,...

UNStudio and Delta Light have joined forces to endeavour to improve the wellbeing of people in our rapidly changing work environments, where human health and the war on talent have become a primary focus for employers. Together we are developing Soliscape, an extremely versatile and flexible system, specifically designed to create user-centric environments.

FROM ARCHITECTURE TO PRODUCT ESIGN AND FROM RESEARCH TO INNOVATION; WE ALWAYS AIM FIND NEw ways to design for A bETTER REALITY, with the CONSTANTLY AT THE CENTER OF everything we conceive.

In consultation with Delta Light, Soliscape has been developed by UNSx, UNStudio's in-house multidisciplinary team. UNSx used an iterati.e design thinking process that alternated bet ■ een divergent and convergent design steps. The key aims .were ts humanize spaces and make them more adaptable. The heart of the process therefore involved research to identify the user-centric problems the system should solve, and the resulting functions and services it could offer. Various insights were uncovered concerning the use of light in space with respect to the needs of the end users, the designers...

All of us as designers always want to change how the design looks like. In the end we want to adapt it to the spaces that we design. So it became part of the design process to develop a toolbox. Filippo Lodi

SOLI-SHHH For additional optimization of room acoustics, Soliscape enables you to combine user focused lighting with Soli-Shhh panels. The sound-absorbing panels can easily be added or removed, positioned flat or tilted, guaranteeing noise reduction to office spaces and meetings rooms in the most aesthetical way. These sound-absorbing panels are created to solve the problem of indoor reverberation to guarantee the best acoustic comfort and wellbeing. Absorbing the noises in the field of typical speech frequencies (between 500 Hz and 2000 Hz) These sound absorbing panels can be applied to...

SOLISCAPE IS A SYSTEM THAT GOES BEYOND SMART TECHNOLOGY. IT IS A RESPONSIVE SYSTEM.

With Soliscape UNStudio and Delta Light aim to create sensor-based en .ironments that respond, learn and adjust to people's daily activities, taking smart buildings to w arsis responsive architecture through a system that allows people intuitive control and personalisation of space. Soliscape ■offers different censoring ■options enabling the creation of user-centric spaces: light in service to wellbeing. "Looking at lighting as just a basic necessity is an outdated approach. Work environments in particular require extra attention, where user-centric lighting has proven to considerably boost...

“The beauty of the Soliscape design is that you can integrate it with other functions, like acoustics and new technology.” Ben van Berke

How do you see the new normal of combining working from home and in the office, in the context of a creative design process? It became clear to us very quickly what the pros and cons of this hybrid working situation are with respect to the creative design process, and it’s something we have been aware of for quite some time. Namely, that while solitary work enables better concentration, innovation occurs through knowledge exchange and this works better in group situations. Digital communication tools are great for meetings etc., but for truly spontaneous brainstorming, people need to be...

How Our Workplaces will Look, Post-Corona How will Covid-19 transform our modern working life, and what does this mean for the future of offices? In 2020, many of us saw our societies shift to a digital world practically overnight. For decades, our lives have been increasingly moving into the online realm, but the global pandemic has dramatically accelerated the transition towards a digital economy. Post-corona, society will continue on this path. For the adult population, our work lives have been one of the most-affected sectors. Remote working is currently the norm in most white-collar...

suit the daily needs and programming of each location. This focus on wellbeing was also one of the main drivers behind our design for the new HQ campus for Czech software development company JetBrains, located in St Petersburg. For this project, we applied a holistic approach to the design based on our years of research into optimal work environments and the positive impact these can have on the health, wellbeing, creativity and therefore, productivity. As such, the central design element of the new JetBrains campus will be a grand atrium where all of the senses will be engaged. A striking...
