The stairwell, which opens upwards from the foyer, has a gracefully sculptural appearance. On the facade side, a generous window lets abundant daylight into the stairwell. Meanwhile, diffuse light lines are arranged graphically across the entire façade side in wall recesses, illuminating the stairwell to be bathed in soft light. The functional light on the stair surface is provided by handrail lighting, which can be integrated into very narrow stair railings using LED technology and achieves an exciting difference in brightness in the spatial structure. In the elevator area, integrated linear light coves provide an impactful effect that offers visitors pleasant orientation.
In the restrooms, cove lighting is also used along the mirrors, giving the room a pleasant, well-lit indirect illumination. The additional downlights complement with powerful accents and, together with the elegant wall tiles and furniture, create a glamorous room atmosphere.
In the permanent exhibition area, a minimal rail system is used in order not to overload the historical structure, while at the same time ensuring the highest possible flexibility for the exhibition. For this purpose, spotlights in appropriate dimensions were suspended in the respective rooms and equipped with different track head components, including various interchangeable lenses, wallwasher optics, and gobos from a uniform luminaire family, which react to the exhibits of the permanent exhibition.
