Kensington Palace

Commissioned by Heritage Building Experts

For this project we were commissioned by heritage building experts Qoda to design and install a lighting system for the King’s State Apartments in Kensington Palace, as part of Historic Royal Palaces’ £12m refurbishment programme to mark the 300th anniversary of the Hanoverian accession to the English throne.

Use lighting to enhance the visitor experience, while ensuring that it does not damage the ornate ceilings or the precious paintings and tapestries on display. Create a sophisticated programmable system that is easy to use. Ensure that no modern fixtures can be seen by visitors, by using:

• Switch-free lights
• Electric circuits that look like picture rails
• Lights hidden in original 18th decor
• Hidden control panels
