studio YMpact
biophilic lighting design
Our mission is to convey the experience of natural light to the built environment.
Studio YMpact uses the intuitive language of light to evoke a feeling of personal connection with nature, space and time. Dynamics, layering and shading are our main design tools. The feeling that radiates in a lit environment our focus.
Most of the time natural light goes by unnoticed. In Dutch we have a saying: ‘the sun rises for free’. But the most ingenious, inscrutable and crucial element of nature deserves a lot more attention. At studio YMpact we spend time studying the phenomenon of natural light with all its facets, to get to the core of the eloquence of natural light and implement it in our lighting designs.
Our aim is to strengthen the connection between people and nature and to create harmonic, inspiring and healthy lit spaces. Biophilic lit places that contribute to the well being of people and planet.
Studio YMpact offers lighting design services for both commercial and residential projects. We develop lighting schemes for landscape, architecture and interior spaces, from the very first ideas and sketches through to the final setting up and commissioning.
Upon completion of the design stages, we continue our services. During the construction phase we will consult the installing party and afterwards undertake the final setting up and commissioning ourselves. This way, we are involved during the entire process and offer support even after completion.
It is an option, prior to the concept design phase, to appoint studio YMpact to start a research on the experience of daylight at the specific location and/or within the environment of the project. With the results of such a research, studio YMpact will be able to implement our biophilic lighting design principles tailor-made into your project.
We offer our services for a wide variety of projects. Commercial or residential, construction or renovation, interior or exterior. What is most important to us is that we help our clients to achieve harmonic, inspiring and healthy lit environments, that enforce the connection between people and nature, deriving from a biophilic vision.
We collaborate with consultants from all different disciplines: Architects, Interior Designers, Landscape Designers, Product Designers, Sound Designers, Feng Shui Experts, Climate Consultants, and others. Studio YMpact can act as a sub-consultant for an Architectural firm or operate independently as part of a larger biophilic design team.
A biophilic design is always based on a holistic approach that involves all design disciplines. The total biophilic experience of the project will be strongest when all senses are being activated.
