THE CONDESTABLE'S HOUSE

In the restoration project of the sixteenth-century palatial mansion, Carril fixtures played a crucial role. These rectangular fixtures were strategically installed throughout the building to complement the restored architectural elements while providing modern lighting solutions. The polycarbonate diffuser of the carril ensured optimal light distribution, illuminating spaces without overwhelming the historical features. Its rail mounting system allowed for versatile installation options, accommodating the unique layout of the mansion and ensuring that each room received adequate light where it was most needed. Moreover, the inclusion of LED lamps that automatically activate during a power failure provided essential illumination, contributing to the safety and usability of the cultural center. This thoughtful integration of carril fixtures maintained the balance between preserving the historic character of the building and accommodating contemporary needs, making the space functional for exhibitions, meetings, and various community activities.

 

Alhóndiga Bilbao

As part of the revitalization of the city center in Bilbao, Spain, the former wine and spirits warehouse known as “La Alhóndiga” was transformed into a new media center in the spring of 2010. Covering an area of 43,000 m², La Alhóndiga offers a wide variety of cultural and leisure facilities for the city of Bilbao's inhabitants and visiting tourists. The building is divided into three dice-shaped sections, which house various educational, spa, and entertainment facilities. The Carril lighting fixture has been incorporated into the revitalized La Alhóndiga. Its rectangular shape with raised edges enhances both aesthetics and functionality. The lightweight construction and high-quality polycarbonate diffuser contribute to an improved lighting experience, blending modern design with the building's historic charm. The Carril light represents an intelligent approach to lighting, reinforcing the concepts of beauty and efficiency within the space.

Additionally, the Cristóbal Balenciaga Foundation showcases a temporary collection consisting of over 1,200 models. The museum utilizes a fixture called Carril, made from durable aluminum housing, and ensures optimal light distribution. The design’s rectangular shape, along with the raised edges, enhances both its aesthetic appeal and functionality, while the lightweight aluminum housing and high-quality polycarbonate diffuser improve the overall lighting experience.
