The new corporate headquarters for Berlin Hyp is intended to showcase the bank's sustainable vision while at the same time contributing to the urban development of the surrounding area. Planted terraces, a roof garden and a newly designed inner courtyard bring the greenery of the surrounding streets up to the roof. Photovoltaic modules are integrated into the natural stone façade grid to produce the bank's own electricity. The aim is to achieve DGNB Platinum certification.

The building offers various zones for a wide range of activities, from active exchange in a team, with customers or in large groups, to concentrated work at individual workstations. Our lighting design includes the public areas such as entrances and atrium, the office floors and the outdoor areas. Workplace lighting controlled by smart technology with the help of sensors not only meets sustainability requirements, but also offers a high degree of individualisation.

3 ministries share a large conference center in Berlin Mitte on Mauerstrasse. We were able to optimize the daylight glare with fabric louvers. The lighting can create a wide variety of moods and specifically increase the blue of the sky light. The pictures show the full spectrum of possibilities.
In addition, there was the development of special luminaires: A luminous mobile with dichroic filters and solid glass blocks, and glass luminaires filled in the entrance to the Ministry of Family, Women, Children and Senior Citizens.
Both luminaires were developed by us for the project.

Extensive modernization of the former Debis building with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. Kardorff Ingenieure supervised the DGNB gold-certified project from planning to execution for the 22-storey, 106 meter-high office tower, the spectacular atrium with adjacent lobbies and entrances, as well as the new exterior illumination. Already completed in 2015, the Sky Office showroom is located on the eleventh floor.

Between the Charité and the banks of the Spree, not far from the main train station, is the new location for the administrative seat of the Federal Ministry.
The building has been given “gold” according to the standards for sustainable construction of federal buildings (Nachhaltiges Bauen für Bundesgebäude / BNB); certification according to “DGNB Gold” is being striven for.

This hotel belonging to the Steigenberger Group is part of the Europacity development around Berlin’s main train station. The facade lighting designed by Kardorff responds to the different vantage points from which the building can be viewed. The hotel was awarded the gold DGNB sustainability certification by the German Sustainable Building Council.
