Optineo, designed by Nieto Sobejano, is a high-rise office building in the Werksviertel of Munich. It forms the striking entrance to the quarter and can already be seen from the Ostbahnhof station. KPMG is the sole tenant of the building complex and asked the project developer Wöhr und Bauer to commission us with the lighting design for almost all areas, after we had already planned the locations in Berlin and Cologne for KPMG. In addition to the atmospheric luminaires for the office areas and the lighting for the restaurants and conference areas, special luminaires were developed for the two foyers. Several polygons in the large foyer, which were produced in a double-curved form for the first time. We used virtual reality to visualize the arrangement in the room (Foto 4), giving the client the opportunity to experience the result in advance. The hemisphere in the smaller foyer doubles in the mirror ring to form a floating sphere.

The facade has 450 DMX-controlled lighting fixtures that offer endless possibilities for setting the scene. Additional spotlights have been positioned in the landscape in invisible niches to illuminate the dark areas of the facade. For special events, there are places to position temporary projectors which can be easily integrated into the control system. The lighting in the museum and its shop is designed to optimally present the writing implements, given their small formats.
