:: Amitabha Retreat Centre ::

On a hill above Kathmandu in Nepal the buddhist Amitabha Retreat Centre is currently build. The project will be finalized in 2008.

Stageled was commissioned to create the lighting design for the centre.

While the basic lighting will be realized via conventional lighting, Stageled specifies LED lighting for special areas and elements.
Inside the six-story high main building with 8 different temples all statues, thankas and wall-paintings etc. will be LED lit.
As well as the fassade of the building, which will shine as a new landmark above Kathmandu.

The decision to use LED lighting was made by the client, because of the clear light LEDs are emitting. Another important factor is, that the non- UV LED light will not harm the sensitive and valuable exhibits in the temples.
Due to the intelligent control system it will be possible to easily select specific lighting atmospheres on special occassions.
