The newly opened Hagersville Library + Active Living Centre brings together community, learning, and wellness within a flexible, multi-use environment. The facility includes a 3,900 sf library, 2,000 sf atrium, 840 sf program room, and a 4,855 sf multi-functional rental space designed to support a wide range of activities. Axis Lighting’s Zen series was selected to deliver clean, comfortable illumination throughout the space. Featuring SurroundLite optics, Zen provides soft, evenly diffused light with excellent glare control, enhancing visual comfort for reading, collaboration, and community use. With a variety of mounting options, the system integrates seamlessly across different ceiling conditions while maintaining a consistent, modern aesthetic. Its high-performance output and efficient design contribute to a well-balanced lighting solution that supports both functionality and architectural intent.

Light, nature and design: the three keys to this home in Baqueira At the Baqueira Beret ski resort, at the foot of the slopes and overlooking the Arán Valley, stands the exclusive Pleta Arriu, a newly built home designed by interior designer Verónica Mimoum. Spanning 4.800 ft² across five floors, the house opens onto the landscape through floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with the clarity of the Pyrenees. The double-height main living room stands out, surrounded by this unique natural setting and conceived as a space for gathering with family and friends. The home is designed to embrace both the landscape and interior living, where the stillness of the outdoors seems to extend indoors. Spaces are fluid and generous, defined by a sense of calm. Outside, vast snow-covered mountains; inside, warmth, comfort and a welcoming atmosphere shape this contemporary mountain retreat, designed to invite stillness and pause. Materials play a central role: slate, natural stone and oak wood, used to envelop the architecture and create an even warmer, more inviting environment. Bespoke furniture sits alongside pieces from leading brands, within a neutral palette enriched by natural textiles such as wool and linen, soft textures and refined details. In the dining area, a sculptural yet light presence draws attention: the striking suspended installation of Algorithm Grid luminaires by Toan Nguyen for Vibia. It interacts with the space as a floating composition, combining technique, balance and poetry. It also redefines the domestic experience, bringing it closer to that of a gallery or design showroom—yet without losing warmth. On the contrary, understanding emotion as a key element of her work, Verónica Mimoum creates spaces that accompany and resonate, a vision reflected in every detail, including the choice of this luminaire. In a mountain home like this, where the natural surroundings and seasons shape everyday life, lighting takes on an even more defining role. Natural light shifts with snow, weather and time of day, while artificial light extends comfort, accompanies quiet afternoons and creates a warm refuge at night. It becomes essential to both the identity of the space and the wellbeing of its inhabitants. Here, lighting acts as an emotional language: the daylight entering through large windows is balanced by the soft glow of Algorithm Grid enveloping the dining area. Its hand-blown, striated glass spheres diffract the light from within, while its black metal structure remains versatile and adaptable. The piece becomes the focal point of the room, its suspended globes evoking a constellation of light that appears to float, casting a warm glow over the table and bringing a poetic and refined character to the space. Beyond aesthetics, it plays a key role in domestic wellbeing: shaping daily rhythms, supporting routines and creating environments of calm. Algorithm Grid turns light into a gesture that is both poetic and functional, merging design, geometry and harmony. Like drops of rain, the luminaires define the atmosphere and articulate the soul of the home. The installation adapts to ceiling height and dining room proportions, accompanying the dialogue between materials and the surrounding landscape. Its soft, intimate atmosphere is ideal for moments of connection—whether a quiet breakfast under diffused light or a shared dinner beneath a warmer, more focused glow. Ultimately, Algorithm Grid transforms the dining area into the heart of the home: a suspended luminous composition that celebrates togetherness, stillness and beauty. A thoughtful and sensitive home where aesthetics serve comfort, and Vibia lighting accompanies everyday life with emotion.
