LÖW INGenieure: Office lighting between function and atmosphere

Architecture meets light: Flexibility in every dimension

LÖW INGenieure completed their new office building at their Mainz location in 2023–2024 – a three-story building with an underground garage that serves as both a workplace and a meeting place. From the reception level and the traditional office units to the spacious lounge area on the upper floor, the building reflects the philosophy of its designers: utilizing space flexibly, creating atmosphere, and thinking about the future.

Systematic lighting design

For the lighting, the engineers relied on close cooperation with SLV. Over 150 luminaires were used:

M-POL with Shader and Louver as outdoor entrance and path lighting
NEW TRIA® downlights for high-quality ambient lighting in the lounge area
MEDO®- and MEDO® RING pendant luminaires for powerful decorative accents
S-TRACK track systems and NUMINOS® spotlights for reliable ambient and accent lighting in presentation and work areas
ROX UP/DOWN wall luminaires for an atmospheric ambiance on the terrace

The result: Lighting that is both functional and atmospheric – and can be dimmed and adjusted depending on the usage situation.

"One conversation with SLV – and you'll achieve your goal."

Especially for a project with high demands on flexibility, the fast and solution-oriented collaboration was crucial.

We planned a lot of things internally and had to reconcile different ideas. SLV impressed us with their quick turnaround and excellent value for money.

Coordinating the technical trades in the exposed concrete setting was particularly challenging. This is where SLV's precise planning and product diversity paid off – only then could the desired flexibility be achieved without compromising on design or function.
