National Railway Museum
The renovation of the Station Hall is part of a major redevelopment project of the National Railway Museum in York, aimed at enhancing its historic railway heritage and improving the overall visitor experience. The lighting design addresses the challenges of a monumental space characterized by large volumes, significant heights and elevated installation points.
The goal was to provide high-performance lighting capable of highlighting locomotives, carriages and graphic elements, while ensuring visual comfort and effective glare control. The lighting concept is based on a controlled, low-glare floodlighting solution, designed to integrate seamlessly with the building’s existing infrastructure, including heating and air-conditioning systems.
The combination of diffuse lighting and accent lighting allows for precise beam control, improving the readability of the exhibition and the perception of the space. For the Station Hall and graphic areas, SPOT REVO MAX and SPOT REVO MEDIUM with Framer were selected ideal luminaires for large spaces and high-level installations, combining luminous power, design flexibility and visual comfort.
The final result is a balanced and immersive environment, where light accompanies visitors and interprets the railway heritage in a contemporary way.
