• VIP-Area Volkswagen Arena

      Project

      The VIP area of Volkswagen Arena is revealed in a new light after a comprehensive restoration of the ceiling. Linear luminaires in a square arrangement and square luminaires help to define the different areas of the large space. The VIP rooms are used for diverse events, and with different white and color light tones, different usage atmospheres can be created. At football matches, for instance, the colored indirect light emittance of the luminaires can react to goal celebration and contribute to the experience.

    • Volkswagen Headquarters Germany

      Project

      The multistorey administrative building completed in 1959 underwent thorough refurbishment to meet contemporary expectations of a corporate headquarters. The building received two new entrances with flying roofs that noticeably complement the older building.
      The office lighting design has linear lighting fixtures integrated into the ceiling. The arrangement of luminaires underscores the lightness and refinement of the building in its nocturnal effect. At our suggestion, the luminaires are placed in a channel custom designed by us to include all of the building automation: sprinklers, loudspeakers, ventilation outlets, etc. The space in which to position all of these elements was very constricted, making their placement in the channel a particular challenge that had to be closely coordinated with the architects and building technicians. As a result, the ceiling is now extremely clear in its structure and remains free of any other fixtures or installations.

    • Bugatti Engine

      Project

      An engine as a sculpted work of art: this is how Bugatti presents its W 16 engine in the Premium Clubhouse in Wolfsburg. A central platform with a reflective black surface serves as a pedestal. The engine appears to be almost levitating in the light designed by Kardorff Ingenieure with small recessed luminaires.

    • ZeitHaus

      Project

      An innovative lighting concept was developed for the ZeitHaus in this car-manufacturing city. Mirrored ceilings allow for new angles of perspective for viewing the exhibits and also make the vehicles visible from the outside. LED lamps provide for an optimal and bright illumination of the vehicles. Their placement creates a uniform pattern of light.

    • VW Konzernforum

      Project

      The VW Autostadt in Wolfsburg is located directly on the Mittellandkanal and parallel to the inter-city express rail line Berlin - Hanover. Based on an artist’s design, Kardorff Ingenieure came up with the technical solution. A drawn curtain of
      light opens the way to the entrance and allows for a view into the Autostadt.
