Illuminating Structure

LEDs with sensitivity illuminate an old manufacturing construction, allowing for modern use and lending an captivating nocturnal request.

later than it was renovated in 2014, the sayne foundry was lit completely from within, so that it radiates a warm shine in the evening that showcases the building's vague architectural facts. 

Lead designer Johannes Roloff worked in dramatic lighting for a decade before exit to structural design, and it is not unexpected that his schemes for the Sawn Iron plant Foundry have theatrical flair—the white ceiling enlightenment possesses an ghostly demeanour, while the red tones conjure up visions of the blazing furnaces and molten iron that once occupied this space

Designed by originator Carl Ludwig Althans, the building, which is situated on a site hugging a wooded angle on the city’s fringes, is a basilica-like hall with enormous masonry walls. In order to deluge the voluminous interior with daylight, the length of the sides, and extravagant glazing with neo-Gothic tracery on the west-in front of facade. Details are both diverse—including 20-foot-high stake top with Doric capitals and prefabricated cast-iron structural structure devoid of rivet and screws—and well-designed, like the eminent tracks to transport resources beside the middle nave and the three giant pivoting cranes attached to the columns.
