The ambient lighting for the adjoining foyers around the atrium as well as for the main foyer area on the first floor as presented on this image is achieved by recessed flush mounted downlights with HIT lamps. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
A decorative pendant luminaire with dimmable xenon lamps mounted in the center of the atrium provides the space with a diffuse, yet brilliant lighting across two storeys and supports the festive atmosphere during events. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
The vaulted ceiling is indirectly illuminated by LED-profiles. These luminaires are mounted on the existing cornice and remain concealed for the visitor’s view. The default setting is warm white, however, coloured lighting scenes can be retrieved. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
The daylit and artificially lit luminous ceiling as well as the diffuse strip lights running across have been technically revitalised. The perimetrical ceiling cove is now equipped with LED profile luminaires. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
Ständesaal with switched-off luminous ceiling. A pair of downlights with dimmable halogen and powerful HIT lamps have been added to the linear light strips in order to enhance the space with direct and accentuating light. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
Detail view with switch-on light ceiling: The varnished wooden strips appear distinctly against the diffused light ceiling and structure the overall impression of the ceiling plane. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
View from the stage to the gallery. The ceiling cove underneath and above the gallery are lit according to the ceiling cove at the stage in a warm white hue and can be optionally changed to coloured light during events. (Photo: Steffen Spitzner)
