RENOVATION at the Graubündner KanTonalbank’s Engadinstrasse headquarters
The Graubündner Kantonalbank’s headquarters on Engadinstrasse in Chur has four floors. The first floor underwent a complete renovation in 2023. Now, one more floor will be renovated each year—using a consistent lighting concept.
The goal of the renovation is, on the one hand, to provide modern, efficient lighting that consumes little energy. On the other hand, it aims to create a pleasant atmosphere where employees feel comfortable and visitors feel welcome. The result is a lighting concept that is “round” in the truest sense of the word—one that impresses both visually and in terms of lighting performance. In the modernized office areas and open spaces, round SLOTLIGHT fixtures were mounted in a staggered pattern on round ceiling panels, which are also positioned at varying heights. Taken together, all these details create an interesting and dynamic ceiling design.
Thanks to microprism technology, employees at Graubündner Kantonalbank enjoy perfectly glare-free lighting, which makes working at computer screens significantly more comfortable.
All circular luminaires are motion- and daylight-sensitive and also feature a “swarm” function. This ensures that occupied desks are illuminated with well-glare-controlled direct light, while the surrounding area is brightened with soft, indirect light. This creates a pleasant atmosphere in the room.
Minimal effort, maximum impact
In the traffic zones, LANOS ceiling lights—which are also round—define the lighting concept. These can be dimmed via motion sensors. Thanks to the integrated halo effect of this luminaire family, the outer ring and the inner LED panel can be controlled and dimmed separately. In so-called “corridor mode,” for example, LANOS uses only 20 percent of its light output while the LED panel is turned off. This enables particularly energy-efficient hallway lighting.
