Award-winning lighting project — BP petrol stations

Lightware won the gold award at the international ADC Awards and was congratulated by AICEP — Portuguese Trade & Investment Agency.

Transforming architecture and space through light, these structures emerge fully only at night. Seen from afar as bright and striking beacons, yet perceived up close as softly and comfortably illuminated environments, this is a dynamic lighting scheme that evolves over the course of the night.
