Transa is the largest outdoor outfitter in Switzerland. In September 2012, Transa opened its flagship store with a sales area of 3,000 m² on the Europaallee directly next to Zurich’s main train station.

The shopping center My Zeil captivates through its funnel-shaped, structured glass facade facing the Zeil that lets in lots of daylight into the interior. As a result, a light and airy atmosphere exists on all of the building’s eight levels.

The objective of the lighting concept was to do justice to the organic layout through random placement of the lighting fixtures. The type of luminaire developed for this has different lamps with which two lighting milieus – day and evening – can be switched on.

The new driving attraction offers car buyers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new vehicle and all its technical assistance systems. An impressive construction in the form of a leaf covers the specially designed driving area. Volkswagen customers are advised and attended to in the adjacent service pavilion. The impressive structure was designed by Schlaich Bergermann und Partner from Berlin. Kardorff Ingenieure Lighting Design was responsible for the whole lighting concept.

The facade has 450 DMX-controlled lighting fixtures that offer endless possibilities for setting the scene. Additional spotlights have been positioned in the landscape in invisible niches to illuminate the dark areas of the facade. For special events, there are places to position temporary projectors which can be easily integrated into the control system. The lighting in the museum and its shop is designed to optimally present the writing implements, given their small formats.
