On the former site of the Ludwig-Maximilian University between the Sophienstrasse and Karlstrasse, an architectural ensemble was constructed consisting of a luxury hotel, two office buildings, and high-class apartments. Kardorff Ingenieure designed the lighting for the entire grounds and all publicly accessible interior spaces, entrances, and underground parking areas.

Building Type:
Office +
The office building designed by Steidle Architekten is leased to the publisher Condé Nast; the one designed by Hilmer & Sattler und Albrecht is leased by Ernst & Young.
Residential +
The luxurious lofts are entered through impressive entryways. Visible pendant and wall luminaires significantly shape the elegant setting.
Urban Space +
The construction project gives new definition to the urban space. Across from the botanical gardens, a sensitive integration of the light was called for.
Area:
Facade +
LED uplights are embedded in the rectangular windows and create a gentle light that late at night forms a subtle cube of light.
Entrance +
Each entryway is individually illuminated. Visible pendant, wall, and bollard luminaires delineate the specific points of the entrance.
Exteriors +
A harmonious integration into the surrounding structures was achieved through suitable levels of illumination and formally adapted lighting fixtures. A new cylindrical top piece was developed for the traditional lantern post used in Munich.
Underground Parking +
The entrances to the underground garages, offices and residential units are carefully illuminated. Each entryway is marked by a light pole.
Staircase +
Luminaires appropriate to the particular architectural style have been designed for the staircases.
Lighting Technology:
Artificial Light +
The lantern post tops, like a number of other custom-designed luminaires, were developed by us for this complex construction project.
