“There is no architecture without light”

It is most significant, for having direct impact on visual comfort, brain and hormone activities and psychology, that a controlled and well-planned natural light is designed in environments such as offices where we spend most of our time during a day. Physical character, positioning and distribution, control and operation in the environment and maintenance of light, in a way to support our biorhythm, are the main factors to be observed.

Selecting an armature depends on various parameters such as corporate identity, designer approach, spatial function and user profile. For ex. 600*600 mm modular armature solutions are often preferred due to easy integration with modular suspended ceiling systems and easy demountability. Furthermore, general illumination of manager offices are provided through hanging or downlights thus offering more flexible and spotlighting solutions.

Office illumination trends rapidly drift apart from reflector type standard office illumination.

While for modern and minimalist office designs, in general, complementary solutions integrated into the architecture where general illumination is enabled homogenously are seeked, for brutal designs that prefer to use the materials with their natural form to the most possible extent, illumination design is completed by choosing industrial-shaped armatures.

Search for new materials and form in ceiling types enabled, for the current situations where illumination is mostly provided from the ceiling, the development of illumination forms and modern designs.

• Integration with designed office illumination concept
• Modern ceiling designs
• Colour, size and structural form options, glass walls, details for combination with the wall and facade
• Acoustic performance (ceiling solutions able to provide privacy, sound absorption and sound insulation at the same time)
• Fire safety
• Easy and frequent access to installations such as electricity, mechanical air conditioning etc.

Ceiling height is one of the important factors that Shopping Mall designs play a decisive role in ceiling systems. It is determined that the ceiling height causes in particular the atrium to give a sense of large and undensely, spacious environment. Furthermore, ultrahigh ceiling height causes a handicap for resulting in a sense of exaggeration and formality. The ceiling is high and the shopping mall seems larger. All entertaining activities, exhibitions and sales promotions are performed in this area. Ceiling preferences in those areas should accommodate with this interactive environment.

Ceiling design of Shopping Malls reveals the character and identity of the mall and discriminates one mall from the other. Therefore, in places where commercial concerns remain at the forefront and it is obligatory to appeal the consumers, particularly ceiling and surface designs and the products used should be attractive and tantalising. In atriums, in particular, where exhibitions etc. social or promotional activities are conducted, ceiling designs shall be unequalled.

• Modern, compatible with the designed shopping mall concept, identity and social image
• RColour, size and structural form options
• Acoustic performance (ceiling solutions able to provide privacy, sound absorption and sound insulation at the same time)
• Fire safety
• Easy and frequent access to installations such as electricity, mechanical air conditioning etc.
