UCI Gropiuspassagen has been transformed to a luxury cinema of the brand UCI luxe, for which we developed a lighting strategy and individual light planning of the cinemas. The lighting concept supports the corporate identity of the cinema brand. The lighting sculpture in the foyer is made of bespoke lighting rods.

The UCI luxe Mercedes Platz is a flagship of the new luxury cinema brand from UCI Multiplex GmbH, for which we developed a lighting master plan. A common lighting design was given to entrance zones, walking areas, hospitality areas, WCs and hall lighting. The foyer eye catcher is a bespoke solution and varies in the different cinemas.

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.

The lighting strategy for FR L’Osteria GmbH in Munich can be described als Lighting Design 2.0: we developed a catalogue and how-to instructions for LED-Replacement in the over 100 different Restaurants. All franchisees can communicate with manufacturers via a guideline for light source replacement in order make reordering easy and maintain light quality. In addition, we designed a bespoke luminaire that is used in the newly built restaurants and serves as pendant and standing luminaire. It has gained the Red Dot Design Award. The interior design of the restaurants and the lighting design concept in the existing locations has been designed by Dipphold Innenarchitektur and Soda Group.
 
 

The DFB Academy's market square serves as its central entrance and main hub. A lighted sculpture was designed to have a far-reaching effect and enhance the atmosphere and identity of this square. The motif behind the concept of the custom-made luminaire was the image of bulrushes swaying in the wind. The lighted tree is made of eight, pre-bent steel tubes coated with flexible, colored GRP sticks, each of which has a luminous object mounted on it. The interplay and inclinations were parametrically modelled by our development team using grasshopper (see image).
