Architectural
Modern architecture is often associated with special technical building requirements. This was also the case with a building in the Paznaun Valley, where floor-to-ceiling doors round off the interior design. Unfortunately, there was not much space left between the door and the ceiling. However, in accordance with the standards, an emergency sign must be attached to every door.
There was simply not enough space for a size 1 emergency sign with dimensions x and a recognition range of 10 metres. The STRING 1 emergency sign was therefore reduced to a height of 50 mm. It is important to ensure that the signage is clear and unambiguous to enable effective orientation in an emergency. This is still the case even with this small pictogram size and it was possible to implement it in compliance with the standard. Thanks to the special size of our STRING with transparent frame, a visually appealing and standard-compliant solution was found.
Monument protection
Structural changes to the railing were not permitted. Nevertheless, emergency lighting up to the assembly point was required by law. The circumstances therefore not only required careful planning, but ultimately also the approval of the authorities and the heritage office.
Monument protection
In this project, we were faced with the challenge of combining monument protection and modern emergency lighting without having to interfere with the historic walls.
