Gloria Gallery

The commercial building Gloria Galerie on the Kurfürstendamm was completely renovated. The symmetrical facade has been underscored by a lighted gateway which also outlines the main entrance. This was the first project undertaken by Kardorff Ingenieure Lichtplanung after its founding in 1997.

      The lighting concept underpins the spatial proportions of the square. The luminaires outline its polygonal shape, showcasing the fountain, the world clock, and the entrances to the underground train.

      Project

      The lighting was adapted for a sculpture exhibit in the hall of the Gemäldegalerie.  The light fixture designed by Christoph Sattler and Thomas Albrecht was completed by us in terms of lighting technology. Targeted illumination of the sculptures made the desired three-dimensional presentation of the individual exhibits possible.

    • Konferenzzentrum Mauerstrasse

      Project

      3 ministries share a large conference center in Berlin Mitte on Mauerstrasse. We were able to optimize the daylight glare with fabric louvers. The lighting can create a wide variety of moods and specifically increase the blue of the sky light. The pictures show the full spectrum of possibilities.
      In addition, there was the development of special luminaires: A luminous mobile with dichroic filters and solid glass blocks, and glass luminaires filled in the entrance to the Ministry of Family, Women, Children and Senior Citizens.
      Both luminaires were developed by us for the project.

      Project

      The lighting design brings out the size and form of the architects' building. To do this, curved linear RGBW luminaires were positioned in parallel about 3.5 meters in front of the facade to spotlight the surfaces. Since pools of water are directly adjacent to these facade areas, underwater lights had to be used. To enable uniform lighting, the curved luminaires at the entrance were also used in a linear floor channel with a glass cover.
      The rooftop surfaces tilting toward the visitors were illuminated with RGBW spots that are mounted on a special tower structure on top of the pavilion.
      This 18-meter-high tower with an open lamellar structure is illuminated by recessed ground luminaires that brighten the inner surfaces and make the structure's silhouette visible from a distance.
      For the interior, the architects designed a curved ceiling into which linear RGBW profiles have been integrated. It was designed so that the luminaires could be mounted in a concealed manner, and the V-shaped structure appears to shine from inside itself, indirectly illuminating the space.
