Aira with Tritec Gold:
Lightness and Elegance
Project
A newly designed park in the city centre
Huddinge, Sweden
Huddinge, located near the metropolitan region of Stockholm, is home to over 100,000 residents. Farmland, nature reserves with forests and lakes cover much of the municipality’s area. Until recently, however, it lacked a central urban park.
With the development of the town centre, Sjödalsparken was upgraded and transformed into the capital park – a popular gathering spot for residents and a venue for numerous events such as the Walpurgis Night celebrations, Huddinge Jazz and Blues Festival, and the Midsummer Festival.
A key element of Sjödalsparken’s design was to bring a natural waterway back into public view: the stream Fullerstaån, which had been redirected underground in the 1950s, is now made visible and accessible again through the use of pumped water. Channels and collection basins create both new biomes as well as sensory experiences. The project aims to achieve high ecological value – through the presence of water, the planting of meadows, shrubs, and trees, sustainable rainwater management from the city centre, and not least, through the new lighting design, which takes the local flora and fauna into account.
Lightweight in appearance, the Aira luminaires blend seamlessly into the natural park surroundings thanks to their airy design. They are equipped with the proven Tritec Optic. With its higher proportion of vertical light and gentle transitions, the Tritec Ambiance Optic provides excellent visual comfort while adding warm accents through gold-tinted reflectors. In Huddinge, Aira and Elo luminaires with a warm colour temperature of 2700 Kelvin illuminate Sjödalsparken, harmonising perfectly with the inviting environment and turning the city park into a second living room for residents.
