Lighting that supports clarity, connection & productivity across collaborative environments

Today’s meeting environments need to do more than host a conversation. They’re spaces for strategy, collaboration and leadership, all while being hybrid, high-pressure and multifunctional. At 18 Degrees, we design lighting for meeting spaces that balances visual comfort, control and attention to detail, while complementing spatial intent.

MEETING SPACES

From executive boardrooms and internal hubs to hybrid collaboration zones, we design lighting that enables people to engage clearly, think critically and communicate confidently. Each space demands its own balance of precision and ambience, whether client-facing or confidential, digital or in person.

Global law firm Freshfields’ new headquarters embodies a sustainable, people-focused workplace. In collaboration with ID:SR, we designed an adaptable lighting scheme that balances performance, comfort and wellbeing across twelve floors. Dynamic, circadian-supportive lighting responds to daylight and activity, enriching focus and collaboration across client and staff areas. 

Smart controls, sensors and responsive dimming enable seamless adjustment to hybrid work patterns while cutting energy use by 30%. The result — a flexible, efficient environment recognised with BREEAM Excellent and SKA Gold ratings, where light enhances both human experience and environmental performance.
