Here in 10,000 square meters of office space in two buildings, Instalcobolaget ELUB has created a unique and futuristic lighting solution. "We got free hands and the task of creating something different", says Emil Björling, responsible project manager at ELUB. Fortnox is the innovative business system company that is housed in the two eight-storey buildings in Arenastaden in Växjö, where web-based accounting programs are being developed. In 2016, construction began on one house and in 2018 the other, which is linked via the third floor. ELUB was commissioned to design and install modern lighting that would lift the house and go hand in hand with the modern interior. - We got free hands to create something unique. "Do something different that stands out," they told us. The assignment was to create a modern and flexible office solution with a different mindset. It suited us very well and I quickly got a sense of what could be done and here I got the chance to sit in the driver's seat and come up with my suggestions and ideas, says Emil Björling. Lighting that will enhance the room's form and function The assignment has also included the installation of power, computer networks, passage systems, alarms and systems for electric charging of cars. Dynacon has been the construction contractor and the houses are designed by Sajt Arkitektstudio. Emil presented his ideas to the end customer and quickly gained acceptance. Since then, there has been a collaboration with the end customer, client, architect, interior designer and builder. ELUB has developed special lighting solutions where each room has a unique lighting that highlights the character of the room. Emil has worked a lot with different light colors and different shapes in all different parts and rooms in the two houses. There are straight horizontal and horizontal lines mixed with angular shape at the same time as a warming feeling and in another room soft and warm shapes alternate. It is as far from a traditional office as you can get. Should feel like coming home Fortnox has described the head office as "Innovative, family-friendly and without frills" and "the workplace should not be something people go to for hours, it should feel more like coming home". - I felt that the customer wanted something more than usual, that I had to think outside the box. I have not used any expensive lighting architects, instead I have gone on my own feeling and my knowledge and interest. I am daily inspired by the outside world and I always look at different lighting solutions, it is a great interest, says Emil Björling. - We have not really used exclusive and expensive luminaires, but I have put together different lighting solutions with good quality from different suppliers. And our electricians find it a little extra fun to do the installations when it is not the usual office lighting as so often otherwise. Should feel like coming home - When we were about to start with House 2, customer Fortnox said: "If you can do something even more different, go for it!" ELUB's lighting installations have attracted attention. On the top floor, Fortnox has a Skybar for staff seen from Storgatan. There have been many questions and comments from people who have seen the different lighting. And thanks to this project, ELUB has received many other projects.
