  MBLD WINNER OF LIGHTING DESIGN AWARDS 2009  

 

 
 

MBLD are proud to have won the Workplace lighting design category at the 2009 Lighting Design Awards for the refurbishment of 133 Houndsditch, London. The judges said that this was an excellent integration of light and architecture. There is a particularly skilful use of reflected light in the lift lobbies. It was a bold decision to use indirect light as the only source in that space.’

 






 

 


 

   

  YOUNG LIGHTER OF THE YEAR 2009  

 

 
  Aniket Gore, design member of MBLD won the top prize at the society of Light and Lighting's annual Young lighter of the year competition. The award was granted after five short-listed finalists presented at the ARC09 show.

Aniket's paper focuses on how glazing has and can transform or mould the lighting design of interior spaces. Also, he talks how there have been taken and can be different ways of successfully exploiting the lantern effect. The paper also discusses the short comings of this concept, how if wrongly used, it can damage the lit atmosphere of the surroundings and cause light pollution and energy wastage.
