TRILUX has delivered a landmark lighting scheme for the new BNP Paribas
headquarters in Brussels—an ambitious, large-scale project that sets a new benchmark for
future-facing, sustainable office environments. With over 14,000 light points installed
across the site, the project demonstrates TRILUX’s capabilities in delivering customised,
smart, and high-quality lighting solutions for modern workplaces across Europe.
BNP Paribas’ new building, Montagne du Parc, combines cutting-edge architecture with passive
house performance, employee wellbeing, and environmental credentials. Designed to consolidate
and modernise the bank’s office space, the 100,000m² complex accommodates around 4,100
employees across ten above-ground floors and five underground levels. The site also features
three publicly accessible green courtyards.
TRILUX worked closely with the design team to meet stringent standards for sustainability, visual
comfort and architectural integration. The building has already received multiple accolades,
including the prestigious “Best Office and Business Development” award at MIPIM (Marché
International des Professionnels de l'immobilier) 2022.
A Lighting System as Sophisticated as the Architecture
TRILUX supplied over 9,000 customised versions of its 39 series luminaires, flush-mounted
throughout the building to maintain clean ceiling lines and deliver uniform, glare-free lighting. In
office areas, the 39 luminaires were seamlessly integrated into several chilled ceiling systems and
equipped with MRX optics and UGR<19, ensuring both energy efficiency and optimal visual
comfort.
To complement the lighting concept and add design flexibility, TRILUX combined the 39s with
recessed spotlights for mood and accent lighting. The washrooms and plant rooms were
illuminated with Sonnos, SncPoint, Oleveon Fit, and Montigo luminaires. Select fittings were also
used decoratively to define zones and enhance the interior architecture.
The building’s smart lighting infrastructure includes Human Centric Lighting (HCL) to mimic the
natural daylight cycle, improving visual comfort and supporting occupants’ wellbeing throughout the
day.
Tailored Lighting, Designed for People and Place
TRILUX also developed several custom-made luminaires in partnership with interior designers,
including sculptural, oversized light rings and a floating, fabric-stretched ceiling in the lounge areas.
These architectural lighting features enhance the overall atmosphere while reinforcing the
building’s unique interior identity.
This complex, multi-phase scheme highlights TRILUX’s expertise in delivering bespoke, large-
scale lighting solutions that align with architectural, technical and environmental priorities.
Lighting Innovation for the Modern Workplace
The new BNP Paribas HQ is a model for the next generation of office buildings—combining
Passive House standards with design excellence and smart building capabilities. TRILUX’s full-
service lighting approach played a central role in this achievement, from energy-efficient lighting
and intelligent controls to highly bespoke solutions that adapt to architectural vision and human
needs.
This project reinforces TRILUX’s international reputation for delivering award-winning lighting in
complex office environments—ensuring comfort, performance, and sustainability in equal measure.
