Lumenwerx teams up with architecture firm Mahlum to illuminate their own studio, with sustainably certifiable results.
When architecture firm Mahlum transformed a 1930s timber-frame building into its new studio, design and sustainability were equally important considerations. The project pursued Living Building Challenge (LBC) Materials Petal certification, requiring careful documentation of building materials and the elimination of LBC Red List chemicals, including those found in lighting fixtures.
Working with Biella Lighting Design, Lumenwerx provided Squero luminaires and the material documentation needed to support the project’s certification objectives. Squero‘s clean, linear profile complemented the studio’s warm architectural character while meeting its technical and environmental requirements.
Throughout the space, Squero delivers comfortable, consistent illumination that enhances the natural warmth of the exposed timber structure. Its adaptable mounting options accommodate different ceiling conditions, maintaining a cohesive visual language across the studio.
The lighting solution brings together architectural integration, visual comfort, and material transparency, supporting Mahlum’s commitment to thoughtful, responsible design.
