The sly is a new hotspot in the east of Berlin. The combination of modern design and a touch of Berlin history gives the hotel a unique aesthetic.

The centrepiece of the hotel is the restaurant in the greenhouse. With numerous plants and a huge glass roof, the lighting was a major challenge. Clear and bright during the day as in the outdoor area and cosy and full of intimate atmosphere at night.

Here, we developed a special luminaire consisting of two glass half-shells that can be planted in the space in between, creating a hanging garden above the guests' heads.

The upper half-shell is partially mirrored and reflects the roof with the colour of the sky during the day. At night, the diffuse hemisphere inside the upper half shell is backlit and reflected in the dark, nocturnal glass surfaces.
A downlight is mounted in the lower half shell and shines hard, brilliant light onto the tables with a warm light colour.

This contrasts the coolness of the roof with the warmth of the tables.
