"Les Trois Rois is characterized by elegant classical architecture and French flair. The now completely redesigned main building on the Schifflände is inspired by French classicism while also incorporating new modern elements, such as unaccustomed combinations of materials and surprising lights and colors. Each floor is its own uniquely designed environment with rooms for public urban life and spaces for calming relaxation and intimacy for the hotel guest," says architect Jacques Herzog, founding partner of Herzog & de Meuron, about the remodeling of this historic building.

It is part of the Grand Hôtel Les Trois Rois ensemble located directly on the Rhine with suites, a spa predicated on Japanese philosophy, adaptable rooms for celebrations, conferences and banquets, as well as the BANKS restaurant and a cigar lounge, The Council. In addition to these interior areas, our lighting design also includes the new outdoor illumination of the entire Grand Hôtel ensemble. It is one of the oldest city hotels in Europe.

The sly is a new hotspot in the east of Berlin. The combination of modern design and a touch of Berlin history gives the hotel a unique aesthetic.

The centrepiece of the hotel is the restaurant in the greenhouse. With numerous plants and a huge glass roof, the lighting was a major challenge. Clear and bright during the day as in the outdoor area and cosy and full of intimate atmosphere at night.

Here, we developed a special luminaire consisting of two glass half-shells that can be planted in the space in between, creating a hanging garden above the guests' heads.

The upper half-shell is partially mirrored and reflects the roof with the colour of the sky during the day. At night, the diffuse hemisphere inside the upper half shell is backlit and reflected in the dark, nocturnal glass surfaces.
A downlight is mounted in the lower half shell and shines hard, brilliant light onto the tables with a warm light colour.

This contrasts the coolness of the roof with the warmth of the tables.

We planned the hotel lighting in the Tower ONE skyscraper in Frankfurt: Rooms, rooftop bar, conference areas and lobbies in close collaboration with the interior designers from Madrid.

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.
