With its 500 state-of-the-art workspaces, "B-One"–the name of the new Berlin Hyp headquarters–consolidates corporate locations and represents cooperation. With their design, C.F. Møller Architects have created a striking, urban gateway into the western city center. Accordingly, our lighting concept gives special consideration to external effects.
C.F. Møller cooperated by designing the interior architecture in such a way that we were able to integrate all aspects of our lighting design particularly well. The flexible floor plans for offices, private spaces and conference areas, such as the multi-level "town hall" and the outdoor spaces on each floor, also harmonize in regard to light. Digital components for climate and light are part of our concept, and sensors are integrated into the office lights.
With B-One a holistic environmental and resource-saving concept has been put in place.

A new landmark for Frankfurt: ONE.
Light seems to rain down on the façade. A subtle, dynamic control system lets the light drip down the façade. Slow and calm in its lighting effect; yet spectacular for the effect of the building at night.

With its striking hexagonal shape, the Paradome industrial heritage site in Potsdam has been converted into a modern office complex after undergoing renovation and expansion.
The center of this historic structure is an impressive hall covered by a 20-meter-high cupola spanning 48 meters. Beginning in 1899 locomotives were built here under the domed roof. Today this architectural ensemble houses the main customs office. The new level in the central hall inserted by the architects serves to develop and open up new space for flexible use.
We did not touch the historically listed Schwedler cupola to illuminate the hall, but instead positioned all of the luminaires in the lower area. This special dome is now indirectly lit by small spotlights at the feet of the iron structure, and the historic brick walls are concealed by diffuse sconces that also light the walkway.
To illuminate the new level, we designed three freestanding pergolas in which the lighting has been integrated. The metal structures in their height make reference to the historic facades and create divisions in the structural zoning of the free spaces.

The German Football Association (DFB) is Germany's largest athletic association. But it did not have a national training center. Which makes the DFB Academy a highly unique project–a new kind of space meant to bring together people of all ages and athletic abilities.
The architects use a large boulevard to connect the large complex of offices, playing fields, restaurants, fitness and hotel rooms.
The concept for the lighting design is based on the idea of an outside boulevard. The colors for the ceiling areas were chosen by us to be in two different blue tones without any lighting fixtures mounted in this "sky," the illumination of which is of central importance to create the illusion of light from above all the way down into the darkest areas.
The lighting on the city boulevard below it is animated and varied making the 230-meter-long route a diverting and entertaining one.
We designed a six-meter-high tree made of lights to serve as the central feature on the market square. It is constructed out of high jumping poles and consciously symbolizes a niche sport in the DFB.

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.
