Skilfully installed in limited space by M Davies Plumbing & Heating, the cylinders serve over 130 showers aswell as an abundance of hand basins and washing machines throughout the building.

Zumtobel Lighng has successfully adhered to a complicated brief to supply luminaires in keeping with the interior of Grade II listed Bracken House in the City of London EC4


Zumtobel provides sophiscated lighng upgrade for Grade II listed Bracken House John Robertson Architects (JRA) worked


with Zumtobel to improve the office lighting in the refurbishment of the building. The selection of SLOTLIGHT Infinity, CAELA and PANOS Infinity luminaires were important in meeting the design criteria for the renovation of this Grade II listed building and contributing to the building’s sustainability credentials. Bracken House is now a contemporary workplace with an enhanced street presence, business lounge, state-of-the-art office floors, and a spacious roof terrace. The previous architectural interventions have been unified, and by working with heritage consultants, the team were able to provide thoughtful additions which built upon earlier works, creating internal courtyards linking the main building and wings, and increasing natural daylight throughout the atrium. The offices have been completely modernised to create


200,000 sq ft of Grade-A office accommodation with state-of-the-art LED lighting from Zumtobel.


A custom office lighting system was developed with the lighting specialist Zumtobel, using the ‘Slotlight Infinity’, seamless linear LED fittings, together with modular suspended metal ceilings arranged in a grid that aligns with the building’s exposed structure. With its linear design and high precision illumination, SLOTLIGHT Infinity provides an elegant and architecturally sophisticated solution, providing a continuous vein of light with no shadows that complements the unique design of the spaces. The lighting arrangement accentuates the structural arrangement of the central office floorplates seen from street level.
