Alcon Tower Residential Complex | OOO "Technology of Light"

Alcon Tower is a 168—meter skyscraper located in the Begovy district of Moscow. The architecture of the building is reminiscent of the famous Stalin skyscrapers and the Empire State Building in New York. As is typical of Soviet Ardeco architecture, the project provides for the use of expensive and high-quality finishing materials. Modern use of Italian Renaissance motifs, absolute symmetry, hierarchy of buildings — all these elements are embedded in the Alcon Tower residential complex. The high-rise building is the dominant feature of the premium Begovoye district, located near the center of the capital. Thanks to the architectural lighting, Alcon Tower has forever changed the perception of the panorama of Leningradsky Prospekt.

During the implementation of the architectural lighting project, we faced an interesting task: according to the conceived concept, it was necessary to "make friends" visually and technically more than 10 types of lighting devices. The project provides for the installation of more than 700 RADUGA lamps with a power from 10 watts to 300 watts. All lighting equipment is energy-efficient, so the total power consumption of architectural lighting does not exceed 20 kW, which has a positive effect on the energy load of the city.

The facade lighting highlights the two-part structure of the complex. The lower block is illuminated by monochrome linear LUMENS and SIGNUM spotlights with the ability to control the luminous flux and adjust the color of the light fill. We have set up a smooth start of the facade lighting from the lower tier to the upper part of the high-rise building.

The most important stage in the implementation of the lighting concept was the spire. The difficulty of installing lighting equipment on a pointed structure was the height, the calculations of wind loads, and the development and installation of a special bracket over 1 meter, on which powerful APEX 200-300 W floodlights are mounted.

A special lamp with toroidal optics is installed in each window opening, which highlights the window, but does not allow light to enter the window itself and does not create discomfort for residents.
