Vitadomo Bubenholz

Opfikon, Switzerland

Light in its natural or artificial form determines our perception. It strikes surfaces, creating space, plasticity, contours and shadow. Diffused, filtered, dimmed or reflected by materials, light creates new spaces and associations. Light affects people and the environment - quantitatively, qualitatively and emotionally. Light architecture, to us, is a holistic concept, a dance between artificial and natural light. Locally rooted, globally competent.

Our holistic concepts are characterized by the masterful way in which they blend timeless design, innovation and efficiency. Our experience and curiosity give rise to concepts that are as functional and innovative as they are poetic; concepts that will continue to impress for years to come. Our team of experts, led by light architect Walter Moggio, supports researchers, developers, users, general planners, architects, interior designers, landscape architects and electrical designers in questions of artificial- and daylighting. Our many years of experience also enable us to incorporate free daylight and multimedia conceptually into the planning process. Together with our specialists from related fields, we offer workable interdisciplinary service packages. In addition to our domestic teams, we also offer international support in English, French, and Italian.
