Accordingly, the lighting requirements were also multifaceted. The outlet centre's showroom was given flexible exhibition lighting. While large shop windows on two sides allow generous amounts of natural light to enter, the building structure on the upper floor has no windows – there, skylights provide the training rooms with natural light. The large rear wall, spanning both floor heights, also receives high luminance from a skylight above. In the evening, this is additionally illuminated by artificial light. During both day and evening, a bright and friendly atmosphere is created, extending into the depth of the room. All rooms are equipped with flexible and versatile lighting, which always ensures good room and exhibition lighting: Uniform illumination is perfectly combined with punctual light sources for brilliance and plasticity.

The building volume floating above the exhibition space is staged for its external impact by a lighting installation that vividly highlights the relief texture in the concrete.
