090 PROJECT / CENTRUM CERNY MOST SHOPPING MALL, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC


Located at the eastern edge of Prague, Centrum Cerny Most (CCM) mall is the result of a major project to redevelop and expand a small shopping centre, and set it within impressive, landscaped grounds. Developer Unibail-Rodamco embarked on the project with the intention of creating an iconic, lux- urious retail destination, one totally unlike the site’s former incarnation. Their concept emphasised the use of light, making it a key driver in delivering an ‘indulgent’ shopping experience. Vanesa Quintia, Ray Pang and Theo Para- dise-Hirst of NDYLIGHT were brought in to answer the lighting brief.


The existing mall structure was given a comprehensive overhaul, with internal finishes and lighting given an entirely fresh approach. Large, internally lit, circular light fixtures, created using 20W/m Linear LED tape, are suspended in a line above the centre of the mall walkways. This introduc- es a high-end aesthetic and enhances the sense of height and spaciousness. Low glare lighting was designed to supplement and maintain a good level of comfort to those navigating through the space. Within the new extension of the mall, flexible, dynamic twin runs of cold cathode are hidden within carefully designed coves. These change during the day from a cool colour temperature, mimicking daylight, into a much warmer, luxurious light as dusk approaches.


Layers of light provide the space with maximum visual interest with large light features assisting in wayfinding. The many bespoke lighting features and installations around the mall create local in- terest zones and fully reflect the purpose of each space. In the children’s soft-play area, for example, a canopy structure supports


Top A large feature chandelier sits at the western entrance to the mall. Coloured tubes, illuminated from within by Encapsulite MT-40 fluorescents and from above by Universal Fibre Optics 250W metal halide downlights, are ringed by Kemps Lighting cold cathode. Above 20W/m linear LED tape runs within the weblike, ribbed profile ceiling feature that spans the food court’s glass ceiling. Right more 20W/m linear LED tape was used to create circular lighting pieces that run down the centre of the hallways. Opposite, top The new extension to the mall uses twin runs of cold cathode, hidden within carefully designed coves. Light gradually shifts from cool to warm white as dusk approaches.
