Kardorff Ingenieure conducted a study of the effect on working conditions by a light-deflecting slatted window blind and a light reflector on the ceiling. The design of the natural light system was done by Bartenbach Lichtlabor in 1996.

      Project

      A skylight covers the historic foyer. The original backlighting with linear fluorescent lamps did not give off any luminance and caused irritating images on the radial glass panes. The pendant luminaires placed at intervals give off a warm light in the interior space and form rings in the listral glass panes.

      Project

      Commissioned by the planning consortium pg bbi, consisting of GMP and JSK, Kardorff Ingenieure designed the lighting from the basic evaluation to the conceptual design. The lighting scheme uses extremely long-lived lamps, such as inductive fluorescent lamps to make the lowest maintenance costs possible.
