Tuchlauben

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.

    • Alter Wall

      Project

      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.

      Project

      This Greek Orthodox church was built on Ground Zero after 9/11. Right before its consecration, we were able to adapt the lighting design for the inner area to realize the architect's intentions and achieve an exalted spatial impression.

    • German Health Ministry

      Project

      For the Federal Ministry of Health we designed wall lights made of massive glass blocks. Some of the glass blocks are backed with dichroic color filters and change the perceived color of light depending on the angle of vision. We used blue tones towards the window facade and orange and yellow filters towards the inner back wall.
