The shopping center My Zeil captivates through its funnel-shaped, structured glass facade facing the Zeil that lets in lots of daylight into the interior. As a result, a light and airy atmosphere exists on all of the building’s eight levels.

Shopping +
The spectacular MyZeil shopping mall designed by the Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas is part of the PalaisQuartier in Frankfurt am Main. It was opened on February 26, 2009 and offers a new dimension in terms of inner-city shopping.
Area:
Entrance +
The extraordinary architecture with its flowing forms and broad perspectives was complemented by an extensive light design, illuminated railings and organically curving lines of light in the ceilings.
Lighting Technology:
Artificial Light +
The lines of light consist of a white and a red line which run parallel to each other to give the impression of a nocturnal street scene with white headlights and red tail lights.
Daylight +
The entire artificial lighting design followed a precise analysis of the daylight present in the mall. Due to the complex roof structure, a three-dimensional building model was needed to document how strongly sunlight would affect the shop facades.
