Kärdla is the only town on Estonia’s second lar­gest island, Hiiu­maa, and has around 3,000 inha­bi­tants. In recent years, the town’s cen­tral square has been moder­ni­sed. As well as an open-plan market hall and a cul­tu­ral centre, which bring fresh impe­tus to town life, the green areas have also been con­ver­ted into new, safe urban spaces.

Until recen­tly, the elon­ga­ted square was domi­na­ted by traf­fic and parks. Now, fol­lo­wing a sug­ge­stion by the land­scape archi­tects’ bureau Mareld, the area has been split into a winter and summer square. This has resul­ted in a living space that is geared to human beings, which com­bi­nes cul­ture and market life with green­space. The nearby stream has also been incor­po­ra­ted into the plan­ning by the desi­gners in the guise of an irri­ga­tion garden con­si­sting of alder trees, foun­tains and wetland vege­ta­tion.

In addi­tion, a new lighting con­cept has been devi­sed for this modern town centre, for which the choice of the plan­ners fell on the design lines Olivio Sistema and Olivio Uni­ver­sal with its high-qua­lity wooden pole. Here, Olivio crea­tes a look that blends in per­fec­tly with the green sur­roun­dings. The indi­vi­dually con­fi­gu­red shapes of the lumi­nai­res mean the cen­tral square can be illu­mi­na­ted using various light set­tings depen­ding on the appli­ca­tion. As a result, the new lighting con­cept in Kärdla town centre has crea­ted a lively living space that pro­mo­tes well-being.

  • La straordinaria famiglia di apparecchi di illuminazione Olivio è un moderno e originale sistema di illuminazione urbana multifunzionale disponibile in tre grandezze con riflettori intercambiabili per l'illuminazione stradale e d'accento. Questo flessibile sistema di illuminazione può essere equipaggiato con accessori ottici come ottiche ad anelli e a nido d'ape, lenti colorate e lenti di elongazione che offrono ulteriori effetti e possibilità di controllo. I pali e gli sbracci Olivio Sistema, Candelabra e Floracion garantiscono la massima libertà in termini di design e flessibilità di progettazione.
