Apassionata Showpalace

The Apassionata Show Palace in Munich is the first element of the new leisure attraction, the Apassionata Park. The Show Palace distinguishes itself with its forceful architectural language that impressively translates the theme of equine adventure into built structures. Light serves as a central component of architectural expression. We were responsible for the facade lighting and the illumination of the foyer with a dynamic lighting installation.

      Project

      The German Football Association (DFB) is Germany's largest athletic association. But it did not have a national training center. Which makes the DFB Academy a highly unique project–a new kind of space meant to bring together people of all ages and athletic abilities.
      The architects use a large boulevard to connect the large complex of offices, playing fields, restaurants, fitness and hotel rooms.
      The concept for the lighting design is based on the idea of an outside boulevard. The colors for the ceiling areas were chosen by us to be in two different blue tones without any lighting fixtures mounted in this "sky," the illumination of which is of central importance to create the illusion of light from above all the way down into the darkest areas.
      The lighting on the city boulevard below it is animated and varied making the 230-meter-long route a diverting and entertaining one.
      We designed a six-meter-high tree made of lights to serve as the central feature on the market square. It is constructed out of high jumping poles and consciously symbolizes a niche sport in the DFB.

    • VIP-Area Volkswagen Arena

      Project

      The VIP area of Volkswagen Arena is revealed in a new light after a comprehensive restoration of the ceiling. Linear luminaires in a square arrangement and square luminaires help to define the different areas of the large space. The VIP rooms are used for diverse events, and with different white and color light tones, different usage atmospheres can be created. At football matches, for instance, the colored indirect light emittance of the luminaires can react to goal celebration and contribute to the experience.

      The 146 meter-high office high-rise presents itself as the new landmark in direct proximity to the Munich Olympic Stadium.
