Bundeskanzlerplatz

The tower at the top of site is another landmark for Bonn.

Three polygonal buildings around a common square define the Bundeskanzlerplatz. 66,000 m² gross floor area with state-of-the-art working environments in all three buildings, plus a large conference centre.
We designed the lighting for the façade, the outdoor space, the lobbies and the skybar.

    • 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.

    • DFB-Academy

      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.

    • Paradome

      Project

      With its striking hexagonal shape, the Paradome industrial heritage site in Potsdam has been converted into a modern office complex after undergoing renovation and expansion.
      The center of this historic structure is an impressive hall covered by a 20-meter-high cupola spanning 48 meters. Beginning in 1899 locomotives were built here under the domed roof. Today this architectural ensemble houses the main customs office. The new level in the central hall inserted by the architects serves to develop and open up new space for flexible use.
      We did not touch the historically listed Schwedler cupola to illuminate the hall, but instead positioned all of the luminaires in the lower area. This special dome is now indirectly lit by small spotlights at the feet of the iron structure, and the historic brick walls are concealed by diffuse sconces that also light the walkway.
      To illuminate the new level, we designed three freestanding pergolas in which the lighting has been integrated. The metal structures in their height make reference to the historic facades and create divisions in the structural zoning of the free spaces.

    • ZEBRA Deloitte

      Project

      The facade in its progression, materials, lighting and detail was designed by us. It is the unique feature of the ZEBRA located on Frankfurt's Europaallee. The lighting for the work areas reflects the work environments developed by Deloitte and illuminates the different areas with spotlights and decorative luminaires to give expression to the utmost individualization of each area.
