F&Co delivered a suite of high-performance lighting solutions that enhanced both the architectural beauty and sustainability of the Forma and Contra project. Tasked with the specification, design, and supply of both indoor and outdoor lighting, F&Co brought expertise that elevated the entire built environment.

“Our lighting design was critical in shaping the atmosphere throughout the project,” said Fred Frangi, Director at F&Co.
“By focusing on aspects such as light quality, reflection, and ambiance, we were able to strike the right balance between practical functionality and architectural beauty.”

From entryways to landscaped surrounds, F&Co delivered a mix of architectural, functional, and emergency lighting solutions, all using energy-efficient LED products. Carefully selected to complement the project’s innovative interiors and exteriors, the lighting scheme enhanced the architectural form while ensuring long-term usability.

Sustainability was front of mind for F&Co, aligning with Forma & Contra’s broader environmental goals. “We prioritised the use of low-voltage LED lighting products that offer substantial energy savings compared to traditional lighting solutions,” said Barry Barakat, Business Development Manager. “All the lighting products supplied were made from fully recyclable materials, minimising the project’s environmental impact. We also considered the lifecycle of the products, ensuring that they were not only energy-efficient but also long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent replacements.”

A key factor in the project’s success was F&Co’s ability to integrate seamlessly with other trades. “We worked closely with the construction team, architects, and electrical contractors to align our lighting solutions with the design intent and project timeline,” Fred said. “By maintaining regular communication and rigorous quality control, we ensured everything was delivered and installed smoothly.”

Reflecting on the project, Barry added, “The big takeaway for us was how essential coordination is on large-scale developments like this. It reinforced our focus on collaboration and innovation in creating sustainable, design-led lighting solutions for future projects.”
