The architectural ensemble at Alter Wall 2-32 is composed of five buildings directly next to Hamburg's City Hall. The historically listed block was renovated to house shops, restaurants and high-end office space, including a large interior courtyard. Central importance has been given to the new Bucerius Passage, an arcade with bridge that now serves as a new and important passageway in Hamburg's city center.
We designed special lighting fixtures for this arcade: a pendant luminaire of a hyperboloid construction that is distinguished by interlaced metal bars from which light rings hang. Hidden in these rings are fixed light points that illuminate the floors and ceilings of the passageway and colonnade. The dimensions of the lighting fixtures vary widely depending on their position in order to match the given spatial dimensions.
These large-format light objects create a light motif visible from afar that harks back to the grand historical Alster arcades and gives this special place a festive atmosphere in the evenings.

The Europa Passage connects the shopping district on the Mönckebergstrasse with the Jungfernstieg and offers high-quality retail stores housed in elegant architecture. A lighting design was developed which not only corresponds to the architecture in its clarity, but also allows individual shops room to create
their own setting. The emphasis of the architectural structure through light contributes significantly to the exterior effect of the building.

The SEVENS is a shopping mall on Düsseldorf’s Königsallee, one of the most exclusive shopping boulevards in Germany. Kardorff Ingenieure was responsible for the illumination of the public spaces, as well as the entrance to the shopping mall. For the food court on the ground level, the luminaire family “Galanthus” was developed as a special lighting fixture.

In the course of renovating a Frankfurt law office dating from the 1960’s, an 80 m long colonnade was built and illuminated. 
The colonnade is given rhythm through the alternation of supporting elements and openings. The goal of the lighting design was to emphasize this rhythm in its spatial structure.

The shopping center My Zeil captivates through its funnel-shaped, structured glass facade facing the Zeil that lets in lots of daylight into the interior. As a result, a light and airy atmosphere exists on all of the building’s eight levels.
