    • Lufthansa Airbus A-350

      Project

      The Airbus A-350 from Lufthansa is the first airplane, where the daylight acts as a role model to the first all LED lighting. Warm light colours for relaxation and cool light colours to activate with all harmonious dynamic lighting scenes. For the first time the cabin lighting combines functional aspects with comfort and biodynamic lighting.

    • BMW Research and Innovation Center (FIZ)

      Project

      The newest models of the BMW Group are designed at the Research and Innovation Center. Project groups with up to 100 employees work together in flexible, two-storey open rooms. Natural and artificial light interplay optimally in all areas of
      the building. Its external appearance at night has also been taken into account. The desk lamps specially designed for all of the workstations underscore the corporate design.

    • Schumacher Quartier

      Project

      In the Schumacher Quartier, over 5,000 flats for more than 10,000 people are being built in a lively, urban environment. Innovative construction methods, a climate-neutral energy supply, high energy standards and new models for mobility will characterise the quarter. The technologies needed for this are largely being researched and developed next door on the site of the former Tegel Airport.

      As with the neighbouring Urban Tech Republic research and industrial park, we are planning the lighting for 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 accommodate technology for communication and security as well as e-charging stations.

    • 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.

    • Volkswagen Headquarters Germany

      Project

      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.
