      Project

      A tunnel passageway is turned into a scene of mixed colors through the lighting and color design. One enters a blue tunnel, but along the way the blue of the accordion-like walls loses its saturation and becomes superimposed by a yellow that increases in its intensity. On the way back, the experience replays itself in reverse.

    • Urban Tech Republic

      Project

      A research and industrial park for new technologies is being built on the site of the former Tegel Airport. The Urban Tech Republic is to become a place of innovation for the next generation, whose most important drive is collaboration. The concept was the first commercial quarter worldwide to be awarded the DGNB platinum pre-certificate.

      For the project, we are planning the lighting of the public streets and squares. Multifunctional light columns developed by us meet the requirements of the future-oriented and sustainable Smart City. These can be equipped in different ways and, in addition to lighting components, can also accommodate technology for communication, networking and security as well as e-charging stations.

      Project

      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.
