TAUNUSTURM

Frankfurt/Main, Germany
Artificial Lighting

Architect: Gruber + Kleine-Kraneburg
Client: Tishman Speyer
Completion year: 2014
Images: Lichtvision

The TaunusTurm is located on the best site amidst the Frankfurter bank district. The building at the Neue Mainzer Strasse opens to the adjacent park with entrance and lobby and creates a flowing transition from the interior to the exterior through a transparent façade. Lobby and adjacent areas like the passage to the internal restaurant are staged by a fine grid of downlights. The newly developed custom luminaire creates a diffuse general lighting with variable colour temperature via edge injection in the acrylic cover. Clear recesses in the middle of the cover allow the accentuation by a narrow beaming, integrated spotlight component.

The lighting elements are hidden well and defining the space in a perfect manner.
The lighting components are a linear and diffuse wall wash and backlight luminaire, a linear and indirect cove lighting for the inscriptions and a ceiling channel with a row of adjustable fibre optic spots as the main exhibit illumination element. All lighting components guarantee a very good colour rendering with a CRI over 90.

KÖBOGEN

Düsseldorf, Germany

Artificial Lighting

Architect: Studio Libeskind
Client: die developer
Completion year: 2014
Images: TRILUX

The KöBogen is located in the center of Dusseldorf and houses a new office building with luxury retail stores and high-end offices. Two separated buildings, connected by a bridge with a stunning view, draw historic urbanism references. The space between the buildings functions, in the shape of a public passage, as a link between nature and city. The facades are interrupted by diagonal, leafy cuts and therefore broach the issue of landscape and architecture. The terraces and courtyards are also planted and bear references to the Hofgarten. Both buildings are made accessible through representative main entrances towards the Königsallee and the Hofgarten.
