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.

    • 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.

      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.

      Project

      The new corporate headquarters for Berlin Hyp is intended to showcase the bank's sustainable vision while at the same time contributing to the urban development of the surrounding area. Planted terraces, a roof garden and a newly designed inner courtyard bring the greenery of the surrounding streets up to the roof. Photovoltaic modules are integrated into the natural stone façade grid to produce the bank's own electricity. The aim is to achieve DGNB Platinum certification.

      The building offers various zones for a wide range of activities, from active exchange in a team, with customers or in large groups, to concentrated work at individual workstations. Our lighting design includes the public areas such as entrances and atrium, the office floors and the outdoor areas. Workplace lighting controlled by smart technology with the help of sensors not only meets sustainability requirements, but also offers a high degree of individualisation.

    • Hochhaus am Europaplatz

      Project

      The high-rise building on Europaplatz is directly opposite Berlin's Main-Station. It was developed and detailed in close consultation with the user KPMG. We planned the façade lighting as well as the special areas. For the foyers and the adjacent restaurant, we developed pendant luminaires that can be adjusted in intensity and light colour. The continuous arrangement connects the ground floor and avoids a visual separation of the foyer from the restaurant.
      Precise wallwashers are used in the foyer and lift lobby to blend in the important walls.
      Conference areas are individually and variedly lit. The rooftop bar with its black ceiling and tiny spotlights offers a reflection-free view of Berlin at night.
