Dette er ZENISK, et prisvinnende lysdesignkontor i Oslo

Vårt oppdrag

Å løfte arkitektur og skape opplevelser i mørket gjennom bærekraftig lysdesign. 

Fokuset vårt er å gi økt livskvalitet for brukere og merverdi for kundene med gode visuelle opplevelser og stimulerende omgivelser. 
Kundene våre er arkitekter, landskapsarkitekter, byplanleggere, kommuner, ingeniører og utbyggere. I samarbeid med dere skaper vi løsninger som er inkluderende, åpne og delt med alle.

Bærekraft

Vi jobber med bærekraft i alle stadier

For oss er ikke bærekraft kun en boks som kan krysses av. Det er en kjerneverdi vi har i alle prosjekter gjennom konkrete handlinger, en unik tilnærming og metode. 

Alle våre prosjekter skal være sirkulære og karbonnøytrale innen 2030. 
Dette er bærekraftig belysning gjort konkret.

Sandvikslykta

ABOUT: Sandvika river promenade is built of wood and will be a pleasant place to stay for recreation and an attraction in the city center.
LIGHT: A specially designed sparkling «lantern» that is designed in bollard height to stand on the ground, and a suspended lantern that can be attached to the facade, on a pole or under bridges.
The shape of the lantern is inspired by the historic lanterns on the Town Hall Bridge. The experience of light is inspired by the Impressionists’ quest to capture the changing character of light. The light sparkles with calm movement inspired by live fire. A dynamic light gives us humans stimuli Sandvikalykta’s function is to create environment and atmosphere. The lantern helps to raise the status of the river promenade and is stylishly integrated into the landscape design. It is important for Bærum municipality that the lantern is beautiful and artistically designed with local roots in production and historical inspiration from Sandvika. The collaboration with Hadeland Glassverk has been particularly important. Both for the local anchorage and to be able to create a lantern that also shines when the sun hits it. The goal of the lantern is that it should give a special experience of sparkling candles in the evening and of luminous crystal during the day. To achieve the lighting concept’s goals and requirements for functionality, it is thoughtful use of light intensity, light quality and lantern locations on the river promenade. Own identity for Sandvika river promenade was achieved through the specially designed lantern with varying color temperature and light intensity, programmed in a dynamic scenario with calm movement. The varying intensity and color temperature of the light enhances the experience and preserves the area’s atmosphere. The design is timeless and constructed with solid materials. The glass that protects the crystal is made of impact-resistant safety glass.

Stavanger City Center Lighting Masterplan

Stavanger lighting plan is designed with strategies that provide concrete tools for evaluating solutions for lighting.

ABOUT: In 2019, the municipal sub-plan for Stavanger City Center was adopted. The plan contains strategic planning measures for urban development. Stavanger municipality defined 5 goals for the city’s lighting in the future. These are:

  • Attractive experiences
  • Increased security and accessibility
  • Increased orientation in the urban landscape Smart maintenance and operation
  • Environmentally conscious solutions

Based on these criteria, Zenisk has designed a new strategic lighting plan for Stavanger city center.
The process has included extensive user participation in the form of workshops, night walks, presentations and discussions
along the way.

LIGHT: The city’s distinctive character and characters are strengthened with light through consideration of four identity markers in Stavanger. These are (1) Breiavatnet, (2) the wooden house development, (3) Hermetikkbyen which is in rapid transformation and development, and (4) Vågen with Sjøhusrekken and the seafront. All have specific characteristics with their very own radiance that can be amplified in the light concept. The concept will take care of and reinforce what is special about each place and emphasize the unique.

Tana Bridge

‘The main principle for the lighting of Tana Bridge is that it should be an attraction, reinforcing the clean design of the bridge design, providing high traffic safety, visual comfort and being reliable in operation under the harsh, arctic climate conditions.’

The new Tana Bridge is a 200 m long new E6 bridge in Finnmark, which replaces the old bridge over the Tana river. The new bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with an asymmetrical tower and a centric cable plane. The lighting concept is based on communication. The bridge is important for the accessibility of the area and creates an important link for transportation and communication in the region. The project symbolizes progress and innovation and has a strong connection to the local culture. The objective of the lighting design is to achieve local and national pride by creating an internationally recognized landmark. Meanwhile the bridge shall communicate with traffic participants and distant observers through dynamic lighting schemes, interaction and experience.

‘The lighting concept for the Frescohallen will give the historic and the modern each their own personality. In an exciting meeting, the two timelines separate and unite, giving them each separately, as well as a unified narrative. As if they had been exhibited in a museum, they are the historical frescoes subtly highlighted with simple strokes’

Rooms, frescoes and modern interiors are presented grandly and glamorously.
The frescoes that describe Bergen’s trade to the world cover all the walls. These are frontally illuminated from the top of the column capitals. All lighting equipment is placed hidden, without embarrassment for visitors. It was essential to avoid glare for guests sitting on sofas along the walls. It was also a goal that the entire room communicates as a whole. The strong historical style embraces the mirror bar which is a distinctly radical modern approach. To emphasize this further, the front is clad in mirrors. Both the size of the bar and the mirror presented their own challenges. No light sources were allowed to reflect in the mirrors. At the same time, the mirrors reflect the room and thus also light. It all makes for a great wow experience.
In the modern interior design, all light is integrated. Lighting integrated into shelves, ceilings and stairs, close to where the light should be.
Subtle, strong lighting enhances the experience of two stories that have found each other.

Rehabiliteringen av gatelykt i Moss sentrum har på en forbilledlig måte lykkes med å ivareta flere aspekter innen bærekraft. Godt samspill mellom byggherre, rådgiver, leverandør og produsent bidro til at de endte opp med en løsning som ikke bare var langt mer energieffektiv enn den opprinnelige – man fikk samtidig økt kvaliteten på måter som gjorde at anlegget – tross tradisjonell estetikk – leverer lysnivå, fargegjengivelse og komfort tilpasset dagens behov og forventninger. Å ivareta det tradisjonelle utseendet ved gjenbruk av eksisterende lysarmatur var et selvstendig mål, hvor belysningen nå bidrar til at det historiske bymiljøet får vist seg frem i all sin prakt.

Night view of Klosterenga Park in Oslo, featuring illuminated water cascades flowing through stone structures. The park's serene lighting highlights the natural elements, with the soft glow from beneath the waterfalls complementing the urban surroundings and creating a tranquil ambiance. Trees and pathways are dimly lit in the background, blending art, nature, and lighting design seamlessly.

Juryens begrunnelse:

Et belysningsanlegg som inspirerer, og som inviterer publikum til å utforske stedet.

Samfunnsnytten ved å bidra til å tilgjengeliggjøre areal for befolkningen er noe av det mest meningsfylte og viktige man kan gjøre i vår bransje, enten man jobber som leverandør, rådgiver eller byggherre.

I en travel hverdag er det slike utendørs pusterom vi trenger, med visuelle sanseinntrykk som kan bidra til å øke trivsel og livskvalitet. Utvalgte detaljer fremheves uten at lyset virker forstyrrende for omgivelsene. Nabolag med flere hundre års historie transformeres og får en ny dimensjon. Og mennesker som før valgte en annen reisevei på vei til og fra gjøremål foretrekker nå reisen gjennom dette området.

Stedet benyttes nå hyppig av Osloborgere i alle aldre, enten det er for en bursdagsfeiring, piknik, ballspill, eller om man foretrekker inaktivitet og tilskudd av D-vitamin.

Aktørene i prosjektet har på en utmerket måte vist hvordan utendørs lysanlegg kan bidra positivt innen byutvikling.
