BMW Research and Innovation Center (FIZ)

The newest models of the BMW Group are designed at the Research and Innovation Center. Project groups with up to 100 employees work together in flexible, two-storey open rooms. Natural and artificial light interplay optimally in all areas of
the building. Its external appearance at night has also been taken into account. The desk lamps specially designed for all of the workstations underscore the corporate design.

    • Schumacher Quartier

      Project

      In the Schumacher Quartier, over 5,000 flats for more than 10,000 people are being built in a lively, urban environment. Innovative construction methods, a climate-neutral energy supply, high energy standards and new models for mobility will characterise the quarter. The technologies needed for this are largely being researched and developed next door on the site of the former Tegel Airport.

      As with the neighbouring Urban Tech Republic research and industrial park, we are planning the lighting for the public streets and squares. Multifunctional light columns developed by us meet the requirements of the future-oriented and sustainable Smart City. These can be equipped in different ways and, in addition to lighting components, can accommodate technology for communication and security as well as e-charging stations.

    • SIGNA Real Estate Berlin

      Project

      The German headquarter of the largest project developer in Europe is located at the top of the Upper West Tower in Berlin. The interior design captivates with its unusual concept. Materials inspired by industry, such as metal and concrete, combine with the more domestic woods and textiles to yield a contrast-rich interior with an especially warm lighting atmosphere.

    • Bugatti Headquarter Molsheim

      Project

      The new Bugatti can only be ordered at the former Bugatti guesthouse.  The building was gutted and fitted with elliptical ceiling panels.  The light corresponds to the exclusive, imposing character and the contrast between a baroque exterior and a modern interior.

    • Urban Tech Republic

      Project

      A research and industrial park for new technologies is being built on the site of the former Tegel Airport. The Urban Tech Republic is to become a place of innovation for the next generation, whose most important drive is collaboration. The concept was the first commercial quarter worldwide to be awarded the DGNB platinum pre-certificate.

      For the project, we are planning the lighting of the public streets and squares. Multifunctional light columns developed by us meet the requirements of the future-oriented and sustainable Smart City. These can be equipped in different ways and, in addition to lighting components, can also accommodate technology for communication, networking and security as well as e-charging stations.
