Working
with Houben Design, dpa carefully integrated the lighting
equipment into the interior fabric of this project. The crisp edged
contemporary design responds to its airport environment extremely well
and a sense of human scale is created using lighting elements at low
level such as large table lamps, illuminated desks and halo lighting.
The Atrium enjoys excellent daylight when available,
transforming at night to an artificially lit volume. All the downlights
are carefully organised in sympathy with the architectural rhythms and
provide light where is it most needed. There is a sense of theatre rather
than a bland overall wash which enhances the public areas and creates
visual stimulation.
