The Filipescu-Cesianu House, one of the few aristocratic residences
of Bucharest’s Belle Epoque, stands a stone’s throw away from
Victory Square. It is now home to a museum and open to the public.
The building consists of a ground floor and first floor with a large
balcony – LuceDomotica handled the project of upgrading its lighting
technology.
To light the entrance, they chose the Geko 6.1, an outdoor wall-
mounted fixture with a double beam. The devices were fitted with
spacers and constructed in a customized version with different
top and bottom optics to create a marked contrast on the ground
floor walls. On the side walls, Neva 1.0 outdoor linear profiles were
installed halfway up the building: they point downwards to highlight
the square-shaped architectural elements just below the lighting
fixtures. On the first floor, Neva 1.1 and Neva 1.0 fixtures were
installed to light the balcony columns and the vault respectively. The
balcony parapet is decorated with an elegant frieze, picked out by
the barely visible 1.6 projectors. Pivot 1.6 fixtures are also used to
light the first-floor pilasters and, at the base of the friezes below the
windows, to emphasize these particular architectural elements.
