About NIPEK PTE LTD

We offer lighting design services for various sizes and types of architecture and space such as: - public facility (civic, transportation, library, museum) - office and retail (office tower facade, shopping mall) - hospitality (hotel, resort) - residential (private residence, condominium) - landscape and exterior (park, bridge, monument) - lighting masterplan (city, town, street) - temporary project (event, exhibition) The following principles apply to every project, and we provide tailored solutions to unique opportunities and challenges of each project. Invisible light fixture Light fixtures should not be seen. What is to be seen is the space and people. No glare We are obsessed with the word 'glare-less'. We design space filled with soft lighting that is visually comfortable. Right amount of light at right location We believe in the value of not over-lighting. Light should be placed strategically and selectively to create a visual hierarchy. Dynamic Natural light changes all the time. Lighting should never be static and fixed but dynamic and flexible. Maintainability We do not design for completion day. We develop simple lighting solutions that can be maintained and enjoyed for many years. Our services are provided according to the phases described below: 1. Concept design We hear from the architect to understand the space, and we hear from the user to understand operational requirements. The surrounding lighting environment of the project location is studied. Based on the understanding and findings, we look for a simple and robust concept unique to each project. In this phase, we produce a concept design booklet including hand sketches, cg renderings, physical models and reference photos. 2. Documentation Drawings and specifications are developed to achieve the approved lighting concept. Details are coordinated with the architect and other consultants, and further refined by calculating illuminance level, studying maintenance method, and estimating cost. In this phase, a complete lighting design package including lighting layouts, mounting details, specifications, control system specification and operation schedule are delivered. 3. Tender / procurement phase We recommend lighting suppliers who can be invited to tender for the project. We assist the quantity surveyor in preparation of materials for calling tender. We evaluate tender submissions on technical aspects as well as price. We arrange tender interviews for necessary clarifications. A tender recommendation report is provided for client's decision. 4. Site supervision We conduct a briefing for the installer to understand the design intent and requirements. We check and approve lighting fixture samples and shop drawings, monitor the installation and issue site instructions. We plan lighting mock-ups to check lighting effect where necessary. Right before completion of the project, final lighting adjustment works such as focusing and setting of lighting control system are done.
