• Bundeskanzlerplatz

      Project

      The tower at the top of site is another landmark for Bonn.

      Three polygonal buildings around a common square define the Bundeskanzlerplatz. 66,000 m² gross floor area with state-of-the-art working environments in all three buildings, plus a large conference centre.
      We designed the lighting for the façade, the outdoor space, the lobbies and the skybar.

    • Bucerius Artforum

      Project

      Next to Hamburg's City Hall is a special kind of art museum: The Bucerius Kunst Forum does not have its own collection. It hosts temporary exhibits of loaned artworks and thus requires completely flexible lighting. The museum was advised for many years by Harry Mayer on all aspects involving light. He wished that the special spotlights be retained in the new rooms. So we integrated spots into recessed light channels alongside the luminous ceiling panels. We designed the light channels to have full access to the spotlights so that they can be optimally adjusted. A specially designed extruded aluminum sheath integrates the mounting positions for the luminous ceiling panels making it possible to achieve very fine and precise details. A 3-D spatial analysis has found that it is possible to perfectly illuminate every artform and arrangement.

    • Alter Wall

      Project

      The architectural ensemble at Alter Wall 2-32 is composed of five buildings directly next to Hamburg's City Hall. The historically listed block was renovated to house shops, restaurants and high-end office space, including a large interior courtyard. Central importance has been given to the new Bucerius Passage, an arcade with bridge that now serves as a new and important passageway in Hamburg's city center.
      We designed special lighting fixtures for this arcade: a pendant luminaire of a hyperboloid construction that is distinguished by interlaced metal bars from which light rings hang. Hidden in these rings are fixed light points that illuminate the floors and ceilings of the passageway and colonnade. The dimensions of the lighting fixtures vary widely depending on their position in order to match the given spatial dimensions.
      These large-format light objects create a light motif visible from afar that harks back to the grand historical Alster arcades and gives this special place a festive atmosphere in the evenings.

    • Kaiser Hof

      Project

      Kaiser Hof is positioned as an exclusive office property on Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring in Cologne. The lighting concept supports the bright and communicative atmosphere of the 12,000 m² rental area. A room-high mirror in the entrance area visually multiplies the distinctive object luminaires.

    • Art Invest Headquarters

      Project

      With the modernization of the office building at Enggasse 3 in Cologne, Art Invest Real Estate has put to use new technical solutions for office space lighting in its own headquarters.
      The functional lighting is designed to align with the circadian rhythm. The lighting control system adjusts the color temperature and illumination intensity to match the progression of the day. The program can be overridden by the user to adjust the light in a given room. The glare-free and homogeneous direct light, the authentic appearance of the indirect components and the mixing of the two color temperatures were determined specifically for this project in cooperation with the manufacturer, thus jointly advancing the product's development

    • Trianon

      Project

      The Trianon is one of the highest skyscrapers in Frankfurt. Kardorff Ingenieure’s design for the ceiling and lighting shapes the new image of the building from the street facade through the lobby all the way to the elevators.

    • KölnTurm Lobby

      Project

      The KölnTurm is the highest office building in Cologne. Its façade by Jean Nouvel has become emblematic of the Cologne Media
      Park. The newly designed lobby was upgraded with an impressive wall of light and a media reception counter.
