As Birmingham’s tallest building and the world’s tallest octagonal residential tower, The Octagon is a landmark that redefines the city’s skyline. Standing at 155 metres with 49 storeys, this striking structure forms part of the Paradise development, symbolising a new era of architectural ambition in the heart of the city.
To accentuate its unique form and elevate its night-time presence, Flick Lighting was selected to supply LED weatherproof strip lighting for the iconic crown at the top of the building. This feature lighting enhances the silhouette of the tower after dark, offering a crisp, continuous glow that outlines its distinctive geometry and reinforces its status as a defining element of Birmingham’s skyline.
Flicks NEON WAVE weatherproof LED strip solution was chosen for its durability, energy efficiency, and ability to deliver clean, uniform light in an exposed, high-level external application. Designed to perform in challenging outdoor conditions, the system ensures long-term reliability and low maintenance while highlighting the architectural excellence of the Octagon in both form and function.
Flick’s contribution to this prestigious project showcases how precise, resilient lighting can enhance the visual identity of landmark buildings—day and night.
