Case Study

Sint Petrus en Paulus Cathedral

One of the most fascinating and sacred buildings in the heart of Paramaribo, Suriname is South America's largest wooden structure - the Cathedral Basilica Saint Peter and Paul. It is the seat of the Catholic Diocese and holds centuries of history. Aside from being a unique work of architecture, the Cathedral is also Suriname's most historic monument.

The Challenge

The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Peter and Paul, the largest wooden structure in South America, is a national monument in Paramaribo, Suriname. Despite its rich history and restoration in 2014, the Cathedral lacked visibility and presence at night. The goal was to illuminate its façade in a way that respected its heritage while showcasing its architectural beauty. The lighting had to enhance, not overpower, the sacred and historical character of the building.

Our Solution

Project Lighting Solutions developed a tailored lighting design to accentuate the Cathedral’s unique wooden architecture. After a thorough site analysis, fixtures were strategically placed to highlight key structural elements. Warm lighting tones were used to preserve the monument’s authentic feel. The result is a radiant, respectful nighttime presence that celebrates the Cathedral’s history and spiritual significance.

The Design

Warm color temperatures were chosen to complement the natural wood tones and maintain a sacred ambiance. Each fixture was discreetly installed to preserve the building’s visual integrity during the day. The result is a subtle yet powerful nighttime presence that honors the Cathedral’s heritage.

The Installation

Installation was carefully planned to respect the Cathedral’s historic structure and minimize disruption. Our team worked with precision to mount fixtures without damaging the original woodwork. All wiring and equipment were concealed to preserve the building’s aesthetic. The project was completed efficiently and safely, with close coordination between our team and local stakeholders.
