Exterior lighting design for the palais, in a soft and subtle way, to mark the presence of the building in the city, in the forefront of the cathedral.
The lighting of facades is simple and sweet. It marks the presence of the building in a subtle way. In the courtyard, surrounded by three walls and wrought iron grilles, lighting affirms the depth of space, and remains in harmony with that of the apse of the cathedral, which is just behind. A special chandelier, made of «floating» golden sheets, was designed for the entrance.
