Lighting is usually a free part of our job. We do not get lighting plans about the buildings we visualize. In the case of the Budapest Airport it was different: this was basically the first time that ZOA had to present not only photorealistic interior spaces, furniture and materials according to plans but also interior lighting. Our client the Lisys Inc and György Simkó designer at V. Design had a pretty solid plan about interior lighting of the new international terminal at Budapest Airport. They choose an exclusive lighting system integrated into the Barrisol ceiling and picked the lighting products by catalog numbers. They wanted us to represent all those information in our photo realistic imagery so that they can enrich their presentation of technical drawings and specifications by images that are easily understandable for everybody.

Design was concentrated to the two most representative space with the biggest passenger traffic. Lighting is crucial in this rooms: the departure lounge and the sky court with its fancy shops and cafes. They had to provide homogeneous illumination combined with an eye-catching design. Besides realistic illumination we also wanted to catch the air of an international terminal with its multi-cultural traffic and colorful and intense life.
