Wise decisions can only be made by balanced minds, present in time and space.

Sunlight adjusts crucial hormon balances in our bodies that synchronizes our body
clocks and improves our well-being.

A part of turning Wisby Strand into an important meeting place was creating an en-
vironment where people’s well-being comes fi rst. A building fi lled with healthy light.

Wisby Strand is one of the most modern meeting- and congress facilities in Europe. The congress hall itself seats 1021 persons and has a stage that can be adapted for lectures, theatre or music. This hall is accessed by climbing a wide staircase in the lobby to the balcony on the second floor.

Since the large entrance has glass facades in three directions, the natural light level here is very high. On the balcony however, only a fraction of this natural light reaches, which creates a large contrast making the balcony feel even gloomier. Thanks to the Parans system that illuminates the balcony with sunlight, this contrast is balanced. and the good feeling from sunlight is kept all the way.

This installation employs four Parans L1 (M) as sunlight luminaires, used complementary with the existing lighting. The Parans L1:s are light and transparent; a unique design reaching fulfilment when filled with sunlight. They are visible already when entering the building, attracting the visitor’s attention to the upper floor.
