Bundeskanzlerplatz

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.

      Project

      The new corporate headquarters for Berlin Hyp is intended to showcase the bank's sustainable vision while at the same time contributing to the urban development of the surrounding area. Planted terraces, a roof garden and a newly designed inner courtyard bring the greenery of the surrounding streets up to the roof. Photovoltaic modules are integrated into the natural stone façade grid to produce the bank's own electricity. The aim is to achieve DGNB Platinum certification.

      The building offers various zones for a wide range of activities, from active exchange in a team, with customers or in large groups, to concentrated work at individual workstations. Our lighting design includes the public areas such as entrances and atrium, the office floors and the outdoor areas. Workplace lighting controlled by smart technology with the help of sensors not only meets sustainability requirements, but also offers a high degree of individualisation.

    • DFB-Academy

      Project

      The German Football Association (DFB) is Germany's largest athletic association. But it did not have a national training center. Which makes the DFB Academy a highly unique project–a new kind of space meant to bring together people of all ages and athletic abilities.
      The architects use a large boulevard to connect the large complex of offices, playing fields, restaurants, fitness and hotel rooms.
      The concept for the lighting design is based on the idea of an outside boulevard. The colors for the ceiling areas were chosen by us to be in two different blue tones without any lighting fixtures mounted in this "sky," the illumination of which is of central importance to create the illusion of light from above all the way down into the darkest areas.
      The lighting on the city boulevard below it is animated and varied making the 230-meter-long route a diverting and entertaining one.
      We designed a six-meter-high tree made of lights to serve as the central feature on the market square. It is constructed out of high jumping poles and consciously symbolizes a niche sport in the DFB.

    • Paradome

      Project

      With its striking hexagonal shape, the Paradome industrial heritage site in Potsdam has been converted into a modern office complex after undergoing renovation and expansion.
      The center of this historic structure is an impressive hall covered by a 20-meter-high cupola spanning 48 meters. Beginning in 1899 locomotives were built here under the domed roof. Today this architectural ensemble houses the main customs office. The new level in the central hall inserted by the architects serves to develop and open up new space for flexible use.
      We did not touch the historically listed Schwedler cupola to illuminate the hall, but instead positioned all of the luminaires in the lower area. This special dome is now indirectly lit by small spotlights at the feet of the iron structure, and the historic brick walls are concealed by diffuse sconces that also light the walkway.
      To illuminate the new level, we designed three freestanding pergolas in which the lighting has been integrated. The metal structures in their height make reference to the historic facades and create divisions in the structural zoning of the free spaces.

    • ZEBRA Deloitte

      Project

      The facade in its progression, materials, lighting and detail was designed by us. It is the unique feature of the ZEBRA located on Frankfurt's Europaallee. The lighting for the work areas reflects the work environments developed by Deloitte and illuminates the different areas with spotlights and decorative luminaires to give expression to the utmost individualization of each area.
