Entry DescriptionRe-interpreting daylight in a brute, underground space - “Brutally nostalgic, stimulating but not overpowering, a fake natural, focused on ease”
The task for Indigo Fitness was to provide light for active work in an underground fitness-spa-bar studio.
Lucespazio developed a retro-futuristic fake window front, resembling the effect of daylight falling through half-closed Venetian blinds for a double-height, concrete brute workout room without access to daylight.
Derived form a bare diffuse LED light tube lighting language of industrial nostalgia for the rough concrete brute aesthetics of the space, we provided a powerful but not overpowering lighting stimulant with a sense of unquestioned, natural lighting direction, intensity, and ease.
Stimulating well-being, providing architectural identity, and visually connecting the adjacent main machine room, changing rooms, reception, sauna and yoga room, the massive lighting installation surprisingly goes unnoticed for most users of the fitness club who enjoy the quasi natural, bright vibe of the space to fully concentrate on their fitness goals of the day.

Sustainability ApproachThe lighting installation uses 3,5 W/sqm, mostly one type of high CRI, dimmed, linear LED tubes for ease of maintenance, durability, and visual stimulation in an underground space. Most of all, sustainability is given by the user and client acceptance, ensuring it will be a successful and long lasting lighting intervention of outstanding visual innovation and user friendliness.
