Ara Pacis
Visitors enter the building through a closed atrium, before the hall with the altar opens up before them, bathed in daylight. Spotlights installed in the niches of the concrete grid ceiling illuminate the reliefs on the temple. The luminaires fitted with daylight conversion filters correspond harmoniously with the light colour of the daylight. The warm light colour of the halogen light, on the other hand, optimally emphasises the colour of the Travertine wall panels.
