An earthquake damaged the important iconic building of the ministry of foreign and European affairs. This demanded a complete renovation of the building, including new exterior decorative lighting. The Philips Uni portfolio with DMX communication protocol and Dynalite lighting control system was selected to do the job.
Ministry of foreign and European affairs - facade lighting
Zagreb, Croatia
Customer challenge
The building from the beginning of the 20th century, damaged in the 2020 earthquake, required a complete renovation.
The solution
The skillfully designed arrangement of lighting fixtures to emphasize the windows, niches, stucco, pilasters and sculptures of the facade makes the building stand out at night. Several scenarios have been programmed: festive, weekend, everyday and night dimmed. For optimal results, the Philips Uni family of luminaires on the DMX communication protocol and the Dynalite lighting management system were used.
