Bremen is home to Germany’s largest integrated shopping and entertainment center. The two construction complexes are lit up as a space ship and its docking station. In addition, the lighting design encompasses the shopping mall, food court with themed restaurants, a cinema complex, and a “space shot” (a catapult-like amusement ride).

The architectural ensemble at Alter Wall 2-32 is composed of five buildings directly next to Hamburg's City Hall. The historically listed block was renovated to house shops, restaurants and high-end office space, including a large interior courtyard. Central importance has been given to the new Bucerius Passage, an arcade with bridge that now serves as a new and important passageway in Hamburg's city center.
We designed special lighting fixtures for this arcade: a pendant luminaire of a hyperboloid construction that is distinguished by interlaced metal bars from which light rings hang. Hidden in these rings are fixed light points that illuminate the floors and ceilings of the passageway and colonnade. The dimensions of the lighting fixtures vary widely depending on their position in order to match the given spatial dimensions.
These large-format light objects create a light motif visible from afar that harks back to the grand historical Alster arcades and gives this special place a festive atmosphere in the evenings.

A new boulevard running parallel to the famous KÖ is being developed for shops and offices.

The Schloss-Straßen-Center unites a diverse group of 30 specialty shops onto three levels. It is located in one of Berlin’s most popular and commercially most competitive shopping
districts.

In addition to Sylt and Düsseldorf, the Stuttgart Sansibar (Zanzibar) is the third restaurant of the Sylt cult brand. In cooperation with the Engineering Office FachWerk, Kardorff planned the lighting and the lighting control as well as the media and sound system. Variable scenes with maritime character were created for an optimal ambience and well-being from breakfast to after-work-party.
