This cutting-edge research and development facility combines comfort and innovation to strengthen the vision of one of the world’s largest biopharmaceutical companies. Inspired by human anatomy, backlit ceilings reinforce the architectural forms while producing a soft glow to improve the visual comfort of the open office environment.

Enhancing user wellness was a key design goal. Illuminated green walls on each floor foster a sense of well-being. In labs, luminaires with wide drop lenses reduce glare while uplighting the ceiling plan to create a pleasant environment for researchers. A thoughtful task-ambient lighting strategy focuses the light on task areas to enhance productivity and reduce energy consumption.
