St. Jakobshalle Basel

When the St. Jakobshalle, designed by Giovanni Panozzo in the style of brutalism, was inaugurated in 1976, it was appreciated as an exemplary and exceedingly modern construction. The Berrel Berrel Kräutler (architecture) and Degelo Architekten (overall management) team approaches the existing building with a high level of respect with refurbishment and modernisation of the construction.

In the redesigned and expanded foyer, the special luminaires developed specifically for this project serve the architecture. A regular grid of 1,127 ring-shaped ceiling luminaires provide visitors to sports competitions, concerts and major events with a radiant reception. Atmospheric light scenes can also be called up for any type of event in the foyer.
