Humana, Gävle – winner of the Swedish Light Award!
Humana is the winner of the prestigious Swedish Light Award. The prize was awarded during the Day of Light on September 5, 2017 at Berns Salonger in Stockholm. The winning project is Humana’s new retirement home in Gävle.
Lighting and interior designers have worked together to create an entirety with humans in focus. The property owner Humana, Ljusrum, WLK and Midroc has in close cooperation realized the lighting at Humana’s new, modern care center situated in Gävle City 200km north of Stockholm. The focus in the project is to use the latest technology with smart automated light control with change of light level and light colour temperature to follow the natural change of daylight during a 24h cycle.
“Careful research has led to that a unique light design has been created. The needs of the users have been prioritized and new lighting technology has been used as a mind-stimulating tool. This specific creation of illumination is aimed to handle the diurnal light cycle and causes a feeling of home and safety.”
The jury also motivates its decision that the results of Humana in Gävle is so successful that the concept is used and will be included in several future nursing homes.
