BERGEN BØRS HOTEL
Bergen, Norway
The Bergen Børs Hotel overlooks a square
surrounded by three other historic buildings.
Originally housing the old stock exchange, the
building, which dates back to 1862, was recently
renovated by the renowned Swedish architecture
and design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune, while the
lighting project was developed by the Norwegian
lighting design studio Zenisk.
Working in close collaboration with the architects
and the client, the lighting designers created
a solution that highlights the contrasts in the
materials and architectural elements. The facade
lighting emphasises its composition of horizontal
and vertical elements, giving volume to the building.
A mix of L&L devices were used to light the different
architectural elements: the linear profiles Neva and
Trevi were used to foreground the surfaces of the
vertical pillars, horizontal frames and exposed red
bricks.
For the gable above the main entrance, the frames
above the windows and the columns, Zenisk used
Spot projectors, which produce a contrasting light,
throwing these elements into relief to theatrical
effect.
