BEL ÉTAGE IN HAMBURG, GERMANY

When choosing an alternative location for the TRILUX Center of Competence in Hamburg, the focus was on creating a unique and ambitious architectural environment. This is to be a place where interested clients come to learn about trailblazing LED lighting concepts and light management systems in stylish surroundings and receive advice from expert staff.

Following an intensive search, TRILUX found what it was looking for in close proximity to the harbor and Großmarkt Hamburg wholesale market and moved into the redesigned fifth story of a listed 1960s high-rise in late 2012.

This prime downtown location offers the ideal environment for the new Center of Competence, directly adjacent to the eastern part of the HafenCity Hamburg urban extension project. The 450-square-meter space, which had been completely gutted, offered optimum conditions for the realization of an integral spatial and lighting concept, whereby TRILUX was able to determine the lighting planning and interior fittings itself. The result is highly impressive: an open and inviting space, shaped

by floor-to-ceiling glass elements and a fluid sequence of spaces, in unique combination with the technology of cutting-edge lighting. At the Hamburg Center of Competence the client area and workplace fuse, creating a space offering visitors an unparalleled, tangible experience of modern LED technology.

The overall concept is underscored by high-grade interior design and decorative motifs inspired by the Hanseatic city itself. Even at the first major event on the occasion of the official opening, the ambitious project impressed almost 200 customers who had come to gain a first-hand impression of the new lighting competence center.

Hamburg is the base from which the new TRILUX Center of Competence serves the entire north of Germany. This includes a wide-ranging service portfolio encompassing lighting planning, technical support (lighting/electrical installation) and business support services, which has long proved an excellent basis for successful collaboration with customers as partners.
