The clubhouse of Germany's oldest golf club, founded in 1894, has been modernized and extended to include a spacious covered terrace. We assisted the interior designer LenzWerk with the lighting concept and the detailed planning for the public clubrooms and restaurant.
The clubhouse's new highlight–the protruding roof designed by the architects Gewers&Pudewill–enables generous use of the terrace and the new transparent facade connects the club rooms with the green. Using only one type of integrated luminaire, our lighting design brightens the underside of the roof's wooden beams. Adjustments to the dimming result in shimmering wood or a warmly lit terrace. From the golf course the floating surface of the roof is visible from afar. In the evenings, it expands the lighted spaces of the clubhouse and restaurant.

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.

The Mercedes-Benz building contains office space for 1,200 employees, an impressive vehicle showroom, and a restaurant. Kardorff Ingenieure was responsible for designing the lighting of the inner areas and facade.
