The Federal Palace, Bern

The Federal Palace in Bern attracts public attention at all times of the day and year. This means that requirements for the lighting design inside and outside the building are high. After dark, the lighting concept bestows a dignified presence on the architecture while providing guidance and safety in the external areas.

A carefully coordinated spotlighting system illuminates the façades, while precisely positioned lights on the publicly accessible terrace and along the footpaths create harmonious light conditions. The courtyards in front of the east wing and the west wing are illuminated by free-standing light elements.

Tailored to the specific function and lighting effect, the stylish, custom-made lighting components blend discreetly into the architecture of the government building. The lighting concept and its realisation convey a sense of trust, confidence and authority.
