Stadshart Almere, Netherlands

StudoFractal developed a lighting masterplan supporting the refurbishment of Stadshart Almere, a landmark destination just outside Amsterdam. Architectural lighting and light art combine on a massive scale to provide an enhanced residential and retail experience.

A series of high impact light installations interwoven within the new and existing architecture brings together colour, rhythm and pattern to create a characterful and vibrant evening ambience.

Once described as bleak and unwelcoming, Stadshart Almere's many facilities and interlinking public ream are now cohesively illuminated through layered functional and aesthetic lighting, reinforcing its nighttime identity, facilitating wayfinding and providing a warm and welcoming evening environment.
