Assemblée nationale illuminée de nuit

Paris – National Assembly

By Lighting design

It is with great pride that after 5 years of work, last May we inaugurated the new nocturnal image of the National Assembly, an emblematic French monument, a high symbol of democracy. As part of the restoration of its north facade and in collaboration with the technical team and the architects of the Palais Bourbon, this building is now enhanced thanks to a discreet, modern and respectful installation. A warm white illumination, bringing the peristyle back to life with a play of amber lights, now extends over the side facades highlighting the high reliefs. Finally, this lighting sublimates the statues of the steps and the legislators.

Saumur

By Lighting master plan

An architectural gem bathed by the Loire, the town of Saumur is nestled in lush greenery where vineyards and white tufa houses rub shoulders.

It is through the establishment of a Global Performance Market that the City has decided to upgrade the lighting of its streets while rethinking its consumption habits.

Within the framework of this contract, NoctaBene has produced the Master Plan for the City’s Lighting in order to guide the Citeos company in a proposal combining elegance, durability and sobriety, through an ambitious program of lowering and extinguishing on the City, as well as proposals for the enhancement of its most emblematic monuments, which will contribute to the revitalization of Saumur nights while remaining particularly attentive to minimizing their environmental impact.

This revitalization project also involves the proposal of a unique light sculpture for the Christmas holidays, produced in collaboration with LEA – Les Éclairagistes Associés.

Pré-Saint-Gervais

By Lighting master plan

Located to the east of Paris, Pré-Saint-Gervais is the closest town to the center of the capital. Long a holiday resort for Parisians, the Pré-Saint-Gervais is today urbanized and dense, but nevertheless retains this timeless aspect thanks to its paths, its shared gardens and its many tree-lined paths.

NoctaBene accompanies the city in the nocturnal planning of its territory, built around the present and future issues and challenges of the City: to include the Pré in an ambitious program of sustainable development, aiming at a strong reduction in its energy consumption, while consolidating, at night, the bucolic atmosphere that offers Gervaisiens a unique living environment at the gates of the capital.

Wishing today to give its inhabitants an exemplary nightlife setting, the city of Ivry-sur-Seine entrusted NoctaBene with the lighting planning of its city. The themes of energy sobriety and the preservation of biodiversity are at the heart of the project, while ensuring the inhabitants’ safety and well-being during their nocturnal wanderings.

Le Pouliguen

By Lighting master plan

Nestled in the heart of the Côte d’Amour and the Pays de Guérande, the towns of Le Pouliguen and La Turballe stretch out along the Atlantic Ocean. As summer resort towns, they have decided to shape their future public lighting in the image of their territory with its multiple challenges, by taking up the environmental challenges inherent in their coastal character while enhancing their dynamic seaside atmosphere.

They therefore commissioned SYDELA – Syndicat départemental d’énergie de Loire Atlantique – and NoctaBene to draw up a Lighting Master Plan in order to think about and define their future lighting.

Through time and conquests, the fortress has been left with its unique character, its patina, its memory which is revealed under the new attention that contemporary man gives it, aware of the richness of its heritage.

At the crossroads of three royal provinces, Chinon was born from the rich hours of history, embodying its own role, discreet or decisive depending on the era.

The village, a vestige preserved from this crossing of time, developed with the castles, below their imposing ramparts, lived on history, or to its detriment, was built from the stones of the fortress which sits quiet seat overlooking the Vienne to form with him the Chinonaise city.

The Indre-et-Loire department aims to preserve and enhance this exceptional heritage. Lighting will highlight the unique architectural details of the fortress and reveal the nocturnal identity of the site, giving it a new spectacular and modern dimension.
