01 Old town lighting – Burgdorf
The lighting was designed to highlight the building’s decorative elements and architectural character. Accent lighting preserved the façade’s plasticity, while floodlighting reduced unwanted shadows and softened contrasts for a balanced overall view.
The main challenge was achieving the right contrast between highlighted details and the illumination of the entire tenement. Light spill and skyglow had to be minimized, requiring additional verification through lighting calculations.
By switching from conventional light bulbs to LED technology and using individually controllable light points, the town of Burgdorf has achieved energy savings of around 85%.

02 SWICA Elefant – Winterthur
Since spring 2024, SWICA’s new headquarters has been shining in the Elefant building of Winterthur’s Lokstadt district. The new construction combines modern architecture with the historic portico, offering around 11,000 m² of flexible work and meeting spaces.
The lighting concept seamlessly connects the new and old structures into a harmonious whole. Subtle luminaires, intelligent optics, and a high color rendering index ensure optimal visual comfort and a pleasant atmosphere. Light islands structure the large areas, improve orientation, and create selected highlights.
In the double-height halls, flexible lighting groups enable various scenarios – from focused project work to creative settings. The reception area feels open and welcoming, while the spacious boulevard, with its varied lighting, invites visitors to linger and connect.

05 Tennis Stadium Rothenbaum, Hamburg
After extensive renovations, the Tennis Stadium at Rothenbaum shines once again in new splendor. In addition to the Center Court, the Players Center, the Press Center, the “Walk of Champions,” and the Plaza were completely redesigned. The project was planned in SketchUp and Revit, and the 3D model proved especially valuable for simulating the Center Court lighting.
- Center Court: Modern competition lighting, controllable via app.
- Players Center: Perfect balance between diffuse and brilliant light.
- Walk of Champions: Showcasing the stars of past tournaments.
- Press Center & TV Studio: Optimal lighting conditions for international media.

06 Nordhavn Tunnel, Denmark
AEC was chosen by the Danish municipality for the Nordhavn tunnel LED lighting project. The Nordhavn tunnel is the first stop on a new road to the north port of Copenhagen. Nordhavn is an old industrial and port area, planned to be developed in a new urban area in the north-eastern part of Copenhagen. The urban area is expected to have 40,000 residents and 40,000 new jobs.
AEC collaborated with the local Municipality for the supply of LED lights for tunnel lighting. In fact, the GALILEO 3 floodlights were installed at the entrance to the gallery where there is a beautiful sunshade structure designed by Møller Architects, while the GALILEO 1 were installed on the inside.
