We see lighting as the combination of art, science and technology, and using this combination, we aim to evoke the right mood for people in and around the space to shape the lighting solutions best suited to our clients regarding to sustainability, budgetary, aesthetics and architectural integration point of view. From initial lighting concept development to construction documents, we provide full-scope support, including the projects’ supervision followed by testing and commissioning to ensure that the design intent is realized and our client’s investment is maximized. We also provide strategic lighting consultancy and value engineering services to assist our clients with the difficult task of understanding the alternatives to complex lighting technologies around the world.
The initial design brief taken from the architect and the client allows ONOFF to determine the requirements and needs of different spaces in the project. After the design brief, the preliminary lighting design presentation will be prepared and this will be presented to the Client in colour keyed plans, sections and elevations, application examples, sketch details and image boards. Renderings will be provided based on architectural/interior design renderings which will be modified to reflect night time conditions enabling our clients and fellow designers to have an understanding of the application of light through out the project.
In this phase, ONOFF will prepare preliminary lighting layouts on reflected ceiling/floor plans showing the light fitting locations and circuit groupings. Besides the cad drawings, preliminary luminaire specifications, preliminary control and power schedules, Bill of Quantities and Preliminary budget studies will be delivered to the client.
