Istiklal Mall


Open-air style for mall

 
Shoppers at the Istiklal Mall in Amman enjoy one of the most comfortable retail environments in Jordan – and Thorn has helped provide it. Keynotes of the 40,000 -square-metre building –  good accessibility, low energy, safety and appearance – are reflected in the lighting, designed by Thorn Gulf. 

The circulation areas have been lit with 2,000 Chalice downlights. They provide a good first impression for the visitor and allow shoppers to quickly find the merchant that best suits their needs  among the 150 retail outlets, even at busy periods. The downlights were selected on the basis of their high light output in class and good colour rendering and cool appearance properties, which provide good daylight perception and transition through the space. Supplementary lighting for the atrium is provided by Sonpak floodlights.
