Best Practices for Lighting Design in Public Spaces

By Klaus Mark

Light installation in Visserijstraat Rotterdam – MK Illumination Holland, inspired by the street name, for safety and atmosphere
Lighting in public spaces goes beyond aesthetics: it creates safety, identity, and strengthens community.

An Inspiring Example: Visserijstraat, Rotterdam

Our team at MK Illumination Holland worked closely with the Rotterdam city administration and local residents to bring this vision to life.

What Made This Project Successful?

• ✔️ Co-creation with the local community
• ✔️ A design that reflects the character of the place
• ✔️ Focus on atmosphere and safety
• ✔️ A result that feels both personal and iconic

Lighting in public spaces is not just a visual element – it’s a social tool.
