MAERICH, in collaboration with acclaimed architectural firm WOHA, has introduced the award-winning G-Spot Recessed Grow-Light Series, a breakthrough solution designed for zero sunlight environments. This pioneering lighting system proves that lush underground gardens can flourish without natural daylight, redefining the future of sustainable urban spaces.
Transforming Underground Spaces
Traditionally, urban gardens depended on natural daylight to thrive. With G-Spot, biophilic design can extend into underground areas, allowing enclosed basements and city interiors to support rich, multi-layered greenery. This innovation paves the way for healthier, more vibrant cities where people and nature coexist seamlessly.
Global Recognition and Design Awards
The G-Spot system has already earned international acclaim. It won the LIT Lighting Design Awards in Agricultural Lighting, was shortlisted for the [d]arc awards KIT, and nominated by the German Design Council for the German Design Awards 2026. These honors reflect its significance in both architectural lighting and sustainable innovation.
Natural Spectrum, Comfortable Illumination
Unlike conventional grow lights with harsh magenta hues, the G-Spot spectrum feels natural to the human eye (CRI >90, R9 >90). This not only supports efficient photosynthesis but also enhances visual comfort. Its long-throw optics and 40° cut-off ensure precise illumination while minimizing glare, making underground gardens appear as serene living artworks.
Sustainability in Every Beam
Beyond growth support, the G-Spot system promotes sustainability by enabling plants to purify air, improve mental well-being, and restore greenery in urban contexts. By embedding nature into architectural design, MAERICH demonstrates how technology can deliver dual-purpose solutions: energy efficiency and ecological benefits, all within compact and modular lighting designs.
