The castle on the water housing the town hall
A historic building dating back to 765, which after renovations and various uses over time, is now the town hall of the small town of Kirchzarten and the cultural centre of the region, which promotes and hosts numerous events throughout the year.

An up-to-date design office within historical spaces: the presence of the original wooden beams and stone walls are combined with modern, colourful furnishings that make them stand out even more. The lighting chosen for this project had to have a dual effect: an aesthetic aspect that could integrate and in some way emphasise the environment, and a functional aspect to ensure optimal usability of the work spaces.
The operational area houses the offices of the municipal administration, where Clear was chosen for the lighting. Clear illuminates the desks with diffuse and homogeneous light, and thanks to the controlled UGR it is perfect for not interfering with the attention of the operators at work, and thanks to Optilight Technology™, it appears transparent when switched off, leaving space for the wooden beams to be seen. The communal areas and relaxation spaces, on the other hand, are illuminated by Mr. Magoo and Tour, whose minimalist design matches the modern style of the décor, combining it with the retro building and a homogeneous, diffuse light.
