Israel Railways Management Building
§ Design note
  1. 01The Entrance Lobby. Continuous lines of light follow the curved ceiling of the tall entrance lobby, giving the building’s public face a bright and ordered first impression on arrival.
  2. 02Shared Spaces. In the cafeteria, soft circular pendants sit against full-height glazing so the shared dining space stays comfortable through the day and reads as warm and social after dark.
  3. 03The Auditorium. The auditorium is treated as a darker, focused room — warm downlights wash the seating while low step-lighting traces the aisles, keeping the space calm and easy to navigate.

§ Technical notes
  1. 01Office Lighting. Recessed linear fixtures provide even, comfortable illumination across the open workspaces and circulation, matched to the ceiling geometry.
  2. 02Visual Comfort. Alongside the full-height glazing, fixtures and their brightness were chosen to limit glare and reflections on screens and support long working days.
  3. 03Interior Coordination. The lighting layout was coordinated with the curved ceiling systems and the interior design so fixtures read as part of the architecture.
  4. 04White-Tone Balance. Neutral white light keeps the offices and lobby crisp and alert, while warmer light in the auditorium gives it a softer, more intimate character.
