The area around Ballerup Banegård has recently undergone a significant transformation, i.a., with a new square connecting the station with the city's pedestrian street.

SLA Architects won the competition to design the square, which was completed in 2021. It has now become an attractive and flexible urban space that provides a good first impression of Ballerup when arriving by public transport. The square also connects the train station with the pedestrian zone and, therefore, functions as a central hub for the city.

In close collaboration with SLA Architects and Ballerup Municipality, Stouenborg has helped develop the lighting concept for Banegårdspladsen. The task was to support SLA Architects' basic idea of ​​creating a safe and inviting environment, where living areas and planting support the changing seasons and thus remain an urban space that invites people to stay and do activities all year round.

Stouenborg was responsible for the installation and control of the light and contributed with advice on the choice of colors, gobos, harmony, and expression, where the goal was to create a spectacular lighting arrangement that makes people look up and be present. The lighting thus functions as both a visual and security-creating element that naturally interacts with the rest of the square's architecture and the changing seasons.

The choice of colors in particular has been an important detail, as the colors had to match the natural change in light throughout the year and the planting on the site, which also changes.

The lighting is dynamic and programmed to change color every day based on the colors of the seasons. Therefore, it is always a new experience to be in the square, as the expression changes from day to day.

The installation itself is relatively simple, consisting of a series of Martin Exterior™ Projection 500 lamps, which are highly robust and require minimal maintenance, making them an obvious choice for permanent outdoor installations that need to be reliable and able to withstand all types of weather.
