The versatile use of the existing building requires a flexible lighting concept that takes into account the various needs of users while also complementing the industrial architecture. The entrance area of the building faces an inner courtyard and benefits from large windows and a bright facade design, creating a diffuse ambient brightness in the courtyard, eliminating the need for additional facade lighting. The entrance area of the cultural workshop is architecturally defined and is adequately illuminated by interior lighting.
Near the entrance, there is a stair tower clad in a distinctive metallic facade, which is also found in various locations inside the building. In order for this facade design to be visible in the dark, it is illuminated by small, recessed spotlights, giving the metal mesh an interesting shimmer.
