The representative office and retail building fits seamlessly into the magnificient buildings at the boulevard Kurfürstendamm in Berlin. In addition to the facade, the garden in the courtyard and all public areas in the building were illuminated by Kardorff Ingenieure. The careful detailing of all design elements as well as the noble materials are set in scene.

The Hotel Pullman Berlin Schweizer Hof chooses a light sculpture for the entrance lobby. Due to the seasons and the events of the hotel, moods are staged by light. The possibilities of playing a 3D LED matrix range from waves and volumes to displaying simple motifs in all colours.

A milestone for KARDORFF: winning the competition in 2000 to design the lighting for the Brandenburg Gate, the national symbol of our history. The lighting concept subtly enhances the spatial impact of the Brandenburg Gate, no matter from which direction one approaches it. The lighting highlights the gate as the most important building on Pariser Platz and emphasises its silhouette along the long axis stretching from the Tiergarten to the historic centre of Berlin. Thanks to uniform light colours, the landmark is now particularly easy to photograph at night.
In autumn 2026, the lighting system will be upgraded and energy-efficient LED lighting installed.
 

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.

For the new construction of the Allianz headquarters in the Richti-Areal in Wallisellen Zurich, the ergonomics of the workstation lighting were of great importance, as was the energy efficiency of the interior illumination (“minergie”).
