Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh

Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh

United Kingdom

The Scottish Parliament Building is the home of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Edinburgh. Constructed from a mixture of steel, oak, and granite, the complex building was hailed on opening as one of the most innovative designs in Britain today. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape, the flower paintings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the upturned boats on the seashore, Enric Miralles, one of the world’s premier architects, developed a design that he said was a building “growing out of the land”.

Luminaires from the 300 range are installed throughout the building. The 300CM with a specially designed angled drop was chosen. The rod kits are colour coordinated with the CM cover and house mains cables which feed directly into the sign. Batteries, if not centrally located, are housed inside the CM enclosure.
