“Blue and ochre twinklings”

The lighting project of the pedestrian zone of Neuchatel took place in three steps:

  1. The masterplan of the city centre
  2. The highlighting project of the pedestrian zone
  3. The technical development of the project 

An exploratory night walk and on-site trials were organised.

Radiance35 worked on four levels:

  • The “backdrop” (=the public lighting). The aim was to bring an atmosphere and a suitable lighting on three areas: the pedestrian centre, the riverbanks of the lake, and the museum square. 
  • The emblematic buildings: harmonise the tones and have sober interventions;
  • The fountains: highlight them according to their characteristics and design;
  • The water prints: materialise water with blue light.
