Originally launched as the ITCC (Information Technology Communications Complex) in 2013, Riyadh’s impressive mixed-use project is now known as Digital City. KARDORFF transformed the façade of the four central 20-storey towers into a pixel screen at night. Each façade panel is illuminated and can be controlled individually, creating a low-resolution screen that enables clear images to be seen from a distance. Over 45,000 LEDs work together as one large, unified canvas for displaying content and light shows.
The concept for the façade lighting is complemented by outdoor facility and street lighting luminaires.

The 146 meter-high office high-rise presents itself as the new landmark in direct proximity to the Munich Olympic Stadium. Characteristic are the rounded glass corners on the building’s crown and in the floor plan, as well as the single-wall glass facade with electrically controlled quarter windows for natural ventilation of the office space.

The new 100-meter-tall headquarters of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co. in Tokyo is defined by its striking wooden mega-columns, a “forest” of columns that shapes the building’s character and identity. The building’s hybrid structure, designed to withstand severe seismic events, will utilize wood on an unprecedented scale.
KARDORFF consulted on the daylight use for the patio in the centre of the building and the depth of the working areas and developed a lighting concept for the interior and the façade of the building.

Directly opposite Berlin's Main-Station, the lighting design 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.

In 2005 at the end of the renowned Königsalle in Düsseldorf, a 23-floor high-rise for Ernst&Young was built. Our light concept for the building includes the importance of its impact
from a distance for the entire urban area. The dynamic basic design of the structure is underlined by a linear lighting pattern that becomes fainter as the lines travel toward the opposite ends. The project was overseen by our team during all phases ranging from the overall effect at night and the lighting of the workstations to the subterranean parking area and the daylight planning.
