This project covers two squares: Pogge Square and Houffalize Square. The functional lighting has been modified, and to enliven the area, targeted lighting interventions have been implemented on both squares.

At Pogge Square, the concept is to highlight the corners of the buildings surrounding the square using vertical, colorful light lines.

Houffalize Square is enhanced with textured light spots on the ground to define and animate the space. A vertical, colorful light line is also installed at the corner of Volger Street to create a visual link between the two squares.

As part of the project, the façade of the swimming pool located on Houffalize Square is also illuminated.
