Leisure center lights up Belfast

Clad in transparent glass panels that let light in during the day and light up the streetscape along the famed Falls Road at night, Belfast's Falls Leisure Centre has become a colorful landmark in the Northern Ireland city. To illuminate the glass panels, local architect Kennedy Fitzgerald + Associates and lighting designer Robert Adair, Williams & Shaw specified a series of luminaires manufactured by Zumtobel. On the south end of the building, where the swimming pool is located, the design team used Tol moisture-proof luminaires, which were suspended from the ceiling and arranged around the pool to backlight the façade. Zumtobel's Mellow Light IV ceiling luminaires were used in the offices, studios, and gyms, and Light Fields luminaires were installed in the reception area.
