Trianon

The Trianon is one of the highest skyscrapers in Frankfurt. Kardorff Ingenieure’s design for the ceiling and lighting shapes the new image of the building from the street facade through the lobby all the way to the elevators.

      Project

      A tunnel passageway is turned into a scene of mixed colors through the lighting and color design. One enters a blue tunnel, but along the way the blue of the accordion-like walls loses its saturation and becomes superimposed by a yellow that increases in its intensity. On the way back, the experience replays itself in reverse.

    • Turmcenter

      Project

      The changing golden light ceiling element was developed by Kardorff Ingenieure uniquely for this project. The lights shine between two metal lattice planes to ensure a special depth effect like a Moirée. A mirror installed on the back side of the lobby additionally stretches the perspective of the hall.

    • Friedrich-Carré Haus 60

      Project

      We designed a solar reflecting system for the narrow lighted courtyard (5 x 5 m) in the residential building in the Friedrich-Carré. The rays of sun are reflected all the way down to the bottom of the courtyard. The mirrors are set at steep angles and provide for minimal shadowing of the direct incident light.

    • 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.

    • Gläserne Manufaktur Dresden

      Project

      In Dresden, VW constructs its vehicles in a completely different way: in a production site made of glass visible to all. The light behind the transparent facades puts the production process on stage. Reflectors shine warm-toned, glare-free light
      directly on the high-quality industrial workplaces with studio character and, at the same time, avoid any exterior light emission to protect the adjacent nature park. The light follows the route of the vehicles until handover to the customers. Stage lighting for performances and cultural events complements this
      extraordinary presentation of the automobile.
