Listed buildings - mawa design

The lighting, accessible for maintenance and upkeep, was designed, constructed, produced, and mounted, by mawa. The special feature: HIT and LV mixed technology operation with dimmable DALI control and integrated emergency lamp units

Offices, conference rooms, banquet halls, and ballrooms, in addition to the so-called Diplomats Hall on the upper floor, are housed in the interior of the building.

The building, located on Schlossplatz 1 in Berlin-Mitte was also used for awards and recognition ceremonies as well as diplomatic receptions.

A facade of sandstone and red granite decorates the structural steel skeleton. Integrated onto the facade are damaged, repaired, and newly rebuilt parts of the entry portal from the demolished Berlin City Palace, including the balcony from which Liebknecht gave his famous speech on Nov. 9, 1918, declaring a free socialist republic.

Chancellor Gerhard Schröder used the State Council building as a provisionary Federal Chancellery from 1999 until 2001.

More than 250 lights were refurbished.

Existing lights were outfitted with digitally controlled it-Tridonic System-Technology.

The dismantling and remounting of lights on site was undertaken at heights of up to 12 meters.

The glare-reducing shade along the window was replaced, finished with a color coating chosen by the monument protection authority.

The well-worn surrounds were reconstructed. An identical-build, gold-anodized spin-formed element replaced the decorative brass reflector in the ceiling hollows.
