Dresden University Hospital

As part of the renewal of the electrical systems, we planned an LED light line in the floor for the corridor areas of a hospital building in Dresden University Hospital, which is being installed as an additional, supplementary element of the visual safety guidance system. With the help of the floor-level guidance markings, orientation and guidance to the exits is still possible despite smoke, which could make it difficult to recognise the signs and lights close to the ceiling. This lighting makes it easier to leave the building more quickly in the event of danger.
For future use as part of the optical safety guidance system in the University Hospital in Dresden, experience can be gained in the installation, technical realisation and operation of lighting in the floor area.
The planning also included the development of a lighting and colour concept for the building.

Restaurant and guesthouse at Postplatz Dresden

The use planned here is a special inspiration for the creation of architecture. Creating a building for a real day and night cycle is tantamount to paying homage to itself. A building in which a bistro with a lively morning café service through to nightlife celebrates everyday life, which can benefit from the street flair of a sunny piazza and has the special magic of a sophisticated evening restaurant, possibly world-class, is a building that captures the rhythms of life and “speaks” with the sun and moon. Food and the preparation and transformation of food with simple ingredients into unforgettable moments of pleasure have parallels with high-quality architecture, which is also created with imagination and attention to detail.

The 360-degree concept also makes it possible to present all neighbouring buildings and squares at eye level – facing the Schauspielhaus, facing the piazza on the south side or with the façade side facing the Zwinger (with the large, centrally positioned eye and the roof terrace with gallery) or with the entrance facing Postplatz. The building presents itself to the outside world with a generous gesture of openness and a friendly, welcoming invitation.
