SPOTLIGHT ANOLIS NOVÁ KAROLINA SHOPPING CENTRE


3


Anolis fixtures have been used to illuminate Nová Karolina Shopping Centre in Ostrava, Czech Republic.


A brand new €100 million development in the Czech Republic's third largest city of Ostrava is one of the largest inner-city development projects in the country, and part of one of central Europe’s largest urban revitalisations. Anolis LED fixtures have been specified and installed to illuminate both interior and exterior of the impressive central feature at the Nová Karolina Shopping Centre. The multi-level environment is smart and spacious, designed by architect Har Hollands from Dutch company T+T Design, working with Czech architects K4 from Brno.


A truncated triangle (frustum) shaped centerpiece creates a sense of drama, creating a focus right at the heart of the busy space. Hollands proposed an initial lighting design for the 36.5 by 35 metre conical shape, which has a height of 22 metres, and for specification of the right fixtures, main construction contractor Gemo recommended Anolis.


Anolis' Brand manager Petr Kolmačka embraced the project with characteristic enthusiasm, producing several options - all of them energy efficient - to achieve the dynamic effect that Hollands wanted. The requirement was for a fixture bright enough to register during the day, and the entire installation also had to be energy efficient so the project would be seen as ‘green’.

Mikolaš Parma, head of the Anolis Research Lab at their HQ in Valasske Mezirici, produced detailed visualisations and data for both interior and exterior systems, complete with customised elements to get the exact effects and coverage from the available positions for the lights.


The interior is illuminated with 32 pieces of Anolis ArcPad 94 RGBW EPS, a special fixture with a separate (rather than integral) power supply. These are positioned on four ledges at ceiling height around the base of the space, and the beams have been focused to cross one another and wash up the space, giving a beautiful, smooth, even colouration right up the fascias, with eight ArcPad 94s per side. Outside, 16 ArcPad Xtreme RGBW units with custom optics (half fitted with 23 degree optics and the other half with asymmetric 23-6 degree lenses) light the exterior of the centrepiece on all four sides – so it can be seen from several kilometres away.


Both inside and outdoor installations have their own control PC-based Robe CyberCue architectural system controls, which are run in stand-alone mode. A light sensitive sensor triggers the exterior scheme when it becomes dark, and the interior lighting switches on when the building opens to the public each day.

Anolis fixtures were chosen to provide an interesting lighting scheme for the Nová Karolina Shopping Centre because of their brightness and energy saving capabilities. The shopping centre has been illuminated in a way that is appealing to visitors whilst also managing to be energy efficient.
