Islamic religious and cultural center

PLEČNIK AWARD 2020

Arcadia Lightwear is proud to have been able to take part in the Islamic Religious and Cultural Centre in Ljubljana, by Bevk Perović arhitects, which was honored with the 2020 Plečnik award.

Is it not said that God is light?

From the purity and awe-inspiring grandeour of the architectural design, one can clearly see the architects understood the magnitude of their task well and made use of natural light to the fullest.

It was the goal of Arcadia, to extend their vision to the use of artificial light as well. By using resecced, hidden and indirect lighting, the team of light designers managed to create an atmosphere of light, that at the same time, comes from everywhere and nowhere…

PUBLIC BUILDING LIGHTING

The project stands at the intersection of two extremely powerful determinants - the masterful shell by Miloš Bonča - a monument of Slovenian modernist architecture, and the new content - the Computer Museum, an attempt to historicize our unfinished modernity.
Fraport airport terminal

The clear, clean and almost utilitarian masses and volumes outlined by Plan B architects deserve light that is equally pure. Light that calms the frenetic movement and speed of transport, allowing the passengers to wait comfortably and travel on leisurely.

PUBLIC SPACE ILLUMINATION

The renovation of Maribor's main public square by Multiplan architects is a tender synthesis of classical patterns and contemporary urban space design. It was with an equally gentle approach that Arcadia took on the task of designing the lighting for the most important public space in Slovenia's second largest city.

HOTEL RENOVATION

Hotel Bohinj, the former Hotel Kompas was built spontaneously over the last three decades, without thinking about its final appearance. The new owners of the hotel decided for radical overhaul including structural reinforcement, interior refurbishment and sustainable renovation.
