Helena Costa: Where does your passion for architecture come from?

Boris Duhamel: My passion for architecture stems from a deep appreciation for the interplay between nature, people, space & light. I was always fascinated by how different environments could evoke various emotions and experiences.
I realized that light is not just a functional element; it shapes the way we perceive and interact with our surroundings; it is perfume to architecture! This understanding inspired me to focus on lighting design, as it plays a crucial role in architecture scenography and can transform a space dramatically. At Baseline Lighting Design Studio, we strive to create environments that fulfil aesthetic needs as well as enhance the overall experience of a space. My passion continues to grow as I see firsthand the impact that thoughtful lighting can have on both residential and commercial projects.

Helena Costa: What are some of the guiding principles behind your work?

Boris Duhamel:I believe in the power of light as a transformative element in any space as well as emotional trigger. Light can change the perception of a room, enhance architectural features, and influence the mood of its visitors. Light is emotion! This understanding drives us to create designs that thoughtfully integrate natural and artificial lighting. Sustainability is another core principle. At Baseline Lighting Design Studio, we strive to design spaces that are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible.

This means prioritizing energy efficiency and considering the lifespan of our designs. We aim to create spaces that respect and enhance their surroundings, contributing positively to the environment. Collaboration is also central to our process. We work closely with clients, architects, and other stakeholders to ensure that our designs reflect their vision while also pushing the boundaries of creativity. This collaborative spirit fosters innovation and leads to solutions that are both functional and artistically compelling.
