In the main prayer hall of the synagogue, a combination of decorative pendant luminaires were installed to highlight the magnificence of the space. Circular takes on an important role here, a luminaire that emerges from blending design and architecture. Candle was also chosen for this project, a delicate luminaire designed as a reinterpretation of a classic chandelier with an LED light source. Linear recessed luminaires were also installed in the ceiling to provide auxiliary light levels when needed, while perimeter lighting was installed to create a sense of more space.

From the Outdoor catalogue, Afrodita was installed, a range of simple and modern wall lights ideally designed to light entrances and passageways.

The Casambi control system used in the project provides the option to create different light atmospheres. In addition, thanks to the circadian cycle on the building’s second floor, the hue of the lighting can be controlled to simulate natural light, thereby enhancing people’s well-being and comfort. Lastly, lighting control in the transit areas and bathrooms using presence sensors achieves superior energy efficiency.
