Exterior and façade lighting for a landmark headquarters, and the first project of Kolinka Lighting Bureau in Kazakhstan: light integrated into a layered glass and metal façade, designed with the architect and the façade engineer, then built, installed and commissioned in an extreme climate.

Light lines in a glass skin

Vertical lines of light run behind the glass fins of the façade, colour-controllable, so that the whole building reads as a field of light by night.
