Allianz Kai, Frankfurt

In 2002 on the Theodor-Stern-Kai am Main, with a direct view of the Frankfurt skyline, the new office and service center for nine Allianz insurance companies with approximately 2,500 employees was constructed. Kardorff Ingenieure designed the lighting for all of the special areas and the illumination of the facade.
