The structure of the "MY.B" facade, with the building's striking soffits and length, led to the idea of illuminating the facade using laser projection.
The soffits stick out as the prominent structural feature of the building's form and serve as the perfect backdrop for the glancing views along the front. The dynamic of the commuters coming into the city in the morning and leaving in the evenings going northward can be experienced in the similar movement of the light.
The newest generation of laser technology and automation are used on the "MY.B" building.
Depending on the situation, the lighting can vary between restrained static motifs and very dynamic geometries with long-distance effects.
The system consists of two laser projectors that are integrated into bespoke outdoor cases that have been mounted on the upper section of the columns.
Power consumption is about 90 to 150 Watts max. per projector, which is, for this specific use, about 50% below the requirements for LEED Gold or Platinum Certification and can therefore be considered as the most energy-efficient facade lighting.

We designed numerous projects in the Autostadt Wolfsburg. The attractions are being updated and redone

With its extraordinary design, the Porsche Pavilion adds to the urban character of the automotive theme park in the car-manufacturing city of Wolfsburg. The sculptural form of the pavilion has been discretely illuminated and integrates itself harmoniously into the landscape of the park and lagoon.
Honored with the Engineering Award by the German Steelwork Association, 2013 as well as the designation "best architects 14". The ambitious structural design was made by Schlaich Bergermann und Partner from Berlin.

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.

The ultimate shopping center: in the heart of downtown Essen, an urban shopping center was built with an area of approximately 70,000 sqm. Kardorff Ingenieure designed the illumination of the facade with reflective, hemispherical, sequin-like LED specifically designed for this purpose. By day when the sun is shining, the mirror surfaces glisten, and by night, colorful dynamic light scenes appear on the 15,000 sqm large facade.

The Novartis Campus offers an optimal environment for innovation and research for 10,000 employees. Kardorff Ingenieure designed the lighting for the laboratory designed by Rafael Moneo in all areas except the labs.

With the “Mobile Life Campus”, the Volkswagen AutoUni developed a new type of university. The master plan by HENN Architekten intended for five main buildings, a boarding house, and a communications forum on the 15 hectare-large area. Kardorff Ingenieure designed the artificial and natural lighting.

The newest models of the BMW Group are designed at the Research and Innovation Center. Project groups with up to 100 employees work together in flexible, two-storey open rooms. Natural and artificial light interplay optimally in all areas of
the building. Its external appearance at night has also been taken into account. The desk lamps specially designed for all of the workstations underscore the corporate design.

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.

The Volkswagen pavilion is located in the car-manufacturing center, Wolfsburg. The truncated VW logo radiates light from blue neon tubes out into the interior.

The new Bugatti can only be ordered at the former Bugatti guesthouse.  The building was gutted and fitted with elliptical ceiling panels.  The light corresponds to the exclusive, imposing character and the contrast between a baroque exterior and a modern interior.

The Circle desk lamp was developed exclusively for BMW. With its handle of hand-sewn leather and casing in a cooling fins look, the lamp cites elements of motorcycle design. Analogous to the motorcycle, which embodies the most individual form of
transportation, the lamp stands for individual light.  Design 2000

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.
