Atrium Tower

Extensive modernization of the former Debis building with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. Kardorff Ingenieure supervised the DGNB gold-certified project from planning to execution for the 22-storey, 106 meter-high office tower, the spectacular atrium with adjacent lobbies and entrances, as well as the new exterior illumination. Already completed in 2015, the Sky Office showroom is located on the eleventh floor.

      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.

    • B-One

      Project

      With its 500 state-of-the-art workspaces, "B-One"–the name of the new Berlin Hyp headquarters–consolidates corporate locations and represents cooperation. With their design, C.F. Møller Architects have created a striking, urban gateway into the western city center. Accordingly, our lighting concept gives special consideration to external effects.
      C.F. Møller cooperated by designing the interior architecture in such a way that we were able to integrate all aspects of our lighting design particularly well. The flexible floor plans for offices, private spaces and conference areas, such as the multi-level "town hall" and the outdoor spaces on each floor, also harmonize in regard to light. Digital components for climate and light are part of our concept, and sensors are integrated into the office lights.
      With B-One a holistic environmental and resource-saving concept has been put in place. Consequently, the building has been awarded the DGNB Platinum certificate. In recognition of its exceptional architectural and design quality, the B-One building received the DGNB Diamond award.

    • Art Invest Headquarters

      Project

      With the modernization of the office building at Enggasse 3 in Cologne, Art Invest Real Estate has put to use new technical solutions for office space lighting in its own headquarters.
      The functional lighting is designed to align with the circadian rhythm. The lighting control system adjusts the color temperature and illumination intensity to match the progression of the day. The program can be overridden by the user to adjust the light in a given room. The glare-free and homogeneous direct light, the authentic appearance of the indirect components and the mixing of the two color temperatures were determined specifically for this project in cooperation with the manufacturer, thus jointly advancing the product's development
