To increase the attractiveness and enhance the Marlene Dietrich Platz, heliostats reflecting natural light onto the square were placed on the adjacent buildings. In addition, new artificial lighting is intended for the square and the large projecting roof.

The illumination of Pariser Platz emphasizes the horizontal areas. There is no direct lighting of the building facades. As an historical monument, the Brandenburg Gate is placed at the focus and is illuminated deep into its structure.

The Promenade Square in Munich is one the most prominent areas of the city. The subtle facade lighting blends the building with its surrounding.

King Abdullah Road is one of the most prestigious main roads in the northern part of Riyadh. The highway leads cars through a tunnel with a clear and bright atmosphere. On the deck of the tunnel there are local traffic zones and parking lots.

The market place in Neubrandenburg has always formed the center of this “town of four gates” in the Mecklenburg lake district. The central element of the lighting design is formed by ten meter-high light poles which, in their deliberate proportions, respond to the generous size of the square. Through the light poles, a spatial arrangement was created that gives the square a formal composition.
