Architectural conservation in the sense of modern apprehension is an important factor not only presenting the building as amonument but also using it with a suitable function and involving it into the urban pattern and urban life. In the restorationand reuse of traditional buildings; is an important issue to restore the building without giving damage to its spatial andstructural original as well as lighting solutions according to new function and user requirements.The most important points that must be considered during interior and exterior lighting design of buildings are; avoidingmaterial damage and enriching the visual effect of the building by reflecting the spatial and formal features correctly. In thissense; first of all apart from the buildings in which the presentation of objects that will be damaged by natural and artificiallighting is the case; utilization of available daylighting opportunities must be preferred at maximum level. However when thecurrent comfort conditions are regarded; it is seen that the daylight illumination in the interior space is not adequate for newfunctions throughout the occupation time. Therefore a proper artificial lighting system has to be designed and the integrationof daylight with artificial light must be enabled for various spaces. Lighting design must be mentioned together withrestoration project and a suitable lighting system must be offered with an interdisciplinary study.Kayseri which is chosen as the study field; most of the traditional buildings have lasted up to now and some of thesebuildings have a monumental effect as well as their utilization in the city centre. Some other buildings have lost theirimportance being excluded from the development direction of the city and were sunk into oblivion. Inclusion of suchbuildings into urban life is only possible with re-use of these buildings. Indoor lighting design is important for the integrationof this new function with the building and outdoor lighting design is also essential for its contribution to urban silhouettevisually and interaction to city life and the environment through hours of day.In this sense Setenönü Public Bath chosen as the subject of study was built in 17th century. Today the building is stuck withinhigh-rise commercial buildings and Kayseri Urban Conservation Area. In this study that is supported by Erciyes UniversityScientific Research Project (No:6066), it is aimed to functionalize this building socially and culturally according to thecommon needs of different user profiles and to make optimum lighting solutions. In this sense, first of all the currentcondition of the building will be analyzed and then a lighting solution will be suggested according to the function determined.Lighting levels and visual comfort conditions will be evaluated according to international standards and will be obtained fromarchitectural points of view.&nbsp;</p
