The public square is located in Nicosia, the capital of the Republic of Cyprus. The square includes the new construction of a bridge and remodeling of the grounds in the area surrounding the medieval fortifications. The city wall, streets and pathways, square, gardens and fountains were illuminated. Additional facilities:  informational center, cafeteria, restaurant, amphitheater, parking area, bus stop.

      With the new Bürgerpark and the
      civic center, a contemporary cultural setting has been created for Reutlingen
      at the entrance to the medieval city. Following the main objectives of carving
      out visual axes, marking pathways, and preserving natural space, the new
      lighting strengthens the functions and evening atmosphere of this important
      urban space.

    • Palace of Berlin – Humboldtforum

      Project

      The lighting design firm Lichtvision was commissioned to develop a concept to illuminate the facades of the Humboldt Forum. The result was an intentional lighting of the facades in terms of intensities of illumination and their distribution.
      The lighting design bathes the building in a uniform light. It accentuates the mighty presence of the Royal Palace in the heart of Berlin. The flat evenness of the light without much shadowing places priority on the building's three-dimensionality over its details so that it appears imposing and grand, especially from a distance. The height of the light points is necessary to avoid casting hard shadows and to create a uniform lighting.
      The designers' lighting specifications were based on standard luminaires. Their design then needed to be integrated into the light columns that also illuminated the exterior areas. KARDORFF was commissioned with achieving these two tasks by using one type of light column.
      First, the positions for the light columns were chosen by Kardorff Ingenieure to ensure that the entrances and views of the palace remained unobstructed. The desired light distribution at the defined positions had to be recalculated for the luminaires that can be used in Selux's LIF light column. The LIF light column was custom designed by Kardorff Ingenieure and has highly complex facade modules which can precisely aim individual LED using many separately adjustable deflective mirrors.
      This made it possible to achieve the same lighting effect even with another product and at other positions than Lichtvision had originally designed.
      As a result, the illumination of the square and the facade have been integrated into one luminaire.

    • Martins Church Kassel

      Project

      St. Martin's Church in Kassel is the seat of the Bishop of Kurhessen-Waldeck. The church is frequently used for events and thus requires highly flexible options for lighting the interior of the church. At the same time, the simple lighting from the 1950s, which had come to be well loved, was to be retained at the congregation's request.
      The solution combined the old glass pendant luminaires with new, freely adjustable LED spotlights on the cross vaults to illuminate the stage and alter room, the organ and special works of art.

      The lighting concept underpins the spatial proportions of the square. The luminaires outline its polygonal shape, showcasing the fountain, the world clock, and the entrances to the underground train.

    • Urban Tech Republic

      Project

      A research and industrial park for new technologies is being built on the site of the former Tegel Airport. The Urban Tech Republic is to become a place of innovation for the next generation, whose most important drive is collaboration. The concept was the first commercial quarter worldwide to be awarded the DGNB platinum pre-certificate.

      For the project, we are planning the lighting of the public streets and squares. Multifunctional light columns developed by us meet the requirements of the future-oriented and sustainable Smart City. These can be equipped in different ways and, in addition to lighting components, can also accommodate technology for communication, networking and security as well as e-charging stations.
