The multistorey administrative building completed in 1959 underwent thorough refurbishment to meet contemporary expectations of a corporate headquarters. The building received two new entrances with flying roofs that noticeably complement the older building.
The office lighting design has linear lighting fixtures integrated into the ceiling. The arrangement of luminaires underscores the lightness and refinement of the building in its nocturnal effect. At our suggestion, the luminaires are placed in a channel custom designed by us to include all of the building automation: sprinklers, loudspeakers, ventilation outlets, etc. The space in which to position all of these elements was very constricted, making their placement in the channel a particular challenge that had to be closely coordinated with the architects and building technicians. As a result, the ceiling is now extremely clear in its structure and remains free of any other fixtures or installations.

The structure of the "MY.B" facade, with the building's striking soffits and length, led to the idea of illuminating the facade using laser projection.
The soffits stick out as the prominent structural feature of the building's form and serve as the perfect backdrop for the glancing views along the front. The dynamic of the commuters coming into the city in the morning and leaving in the evenings going northward can be experienced in the similar movement of the light.
The newest generation of laser technology and automation are used on the "MY.B" building.
Depending on the situation, the lighting can vary between restrained static motifs and very dynamic geometries with long-distance effects.
The system consists of two laser projectors that are integrated into bespoke outdoor cases that have been mounted on the upper section of the columns.
Power consumption is about 90 to 150 Watts max. per projector, which is, for this specific use, about 50% below the requirements for LEED Gold or Platinum Certification and can therefore be considered as the most energy-efficient facade lighting.

Optineo, designed by Nieto Sobejano, is a high-rise office building in the Werksviertel of Munich. It forms the striking entrance to the quarter and can already be seen from the Ostbahnhof station. KPMG is the sole tenant of the building complex and asked the project developer Wöhr und Bauer to commission us with the lighting design for almost all areas, after we had already planned the locations in Berlin and Cologne for KPMG. In addition to the atmospheric luminaires for the office areas and the lighting for the restaurants and conference areas, special luminaires were developed for the two foyers. Several polygons in the large foyer, which were produced in a double-curved form for the first time. We used virtual reality to visualize the arrangement in the room, giving the client the opportunity to experience the result in advance. The hemisphere in the smaller foyer doubles in the mirror ring to form a floating sphere.

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 innovative architectural design of the new headquarters for Vodafone in Germany reflects the team-oriented corporate structure. It connects high user quality with energy efficiency. The building is certified with LEED gold.
