The brief
What the building demands
- 01A space redrawn with every collection, without calling the electrician back
- 02Light that renders materials and colours faithfully
- 03Different audio moods depending on the world being shown
- 04Controlled consumption despite generous lighting
The architecture
The response, layer by layer
The same order of dependency as on every project we run: energy first, supervision last. Each layer links to the discipline that handles it.
- 01ENERGYEnergy
Sub-metering by display zone, with automatic shutdown outside opening hours. Discipline
- 02ELECTRICALElectrical
Track systems that let spotlights be moved without touching the fixed wiring. Discipline
- 03NETWORKNetworks
One infrastructure carrying lighting, audio, security and signage, with the networks logically separated. Discipline
- 04SECURITYSecurity
Volumetric detection at night, cameras on entrances and the stockroom. Discipline
- 05ACCESSAccess control
Stockroom and offices separated from the public space, with rights by hour for staff and deliveries. Discipline
- 06FIREFire
Detection suited to open volumes and to the materials on display, with voice evacuation. Discipline
- 07AUTOMATIONAutomation
Lighting scenes reassignable from a tablet, zoned audio moods, cooling driven by footfall. Discipline
- 08MONITORINGSupervision
Luminaire operating hours and consumption by zone, so replacements can be anticipated.
Technologies
What we bring to bear
- DALI-2
- KNX
- Zigbee 3.0
- Multi-zone audio
- EN 50131
Open, documented standards rather than closed systems: an installation must remain serviceable and extendable by another integrator.
In use
What this architecture produces
- A collection is reinstalled by moving spotlights, not by rewiring.
- Each world has its own light and its own soundscape.
- Lighting switches itself off at closing, with no possibility of forgetting.
