House in a House, Chamber of commerce Hamburg - The first house completely illuminated with LEDs |
May 23, 2007 - "House in a House" is the unusual new construction project in the chamber of commerce in Hamburg, which is a listed building using exclusiveli smd LED modules for illumination. In accordance with plans of Stuttgart architect Stefan Behnisch (Behnisch Architekten), five transparent office floors were created in the classicist stock-exchange hall. The "House in a House" is one of the first buildings worldwide to be lit exclusively with energy-saving smdLEDs. More than 160,000 of these LEDs over all the five levels were required. 400 LEDs are in each of the 380 light-module panels suspended from the glass ceiling on each floor. Due to the uniqueness of this lighting and its interaction with the translucent, transparent and reflecting material, the building acquires an almost "immaterial" appearance.
The LED illuminated "House in House"
Working with Behnisch Architekten, Nimbus programmed the light control system of the smd LED modules specially for the "House in House". Depending on requirements, LED modules bathe individual areas in bright light for working or they illuminate individual zones only weakly so that, for example, people can see where they are going. The lighting for the building is absolutely energy efficient because it is possible to request only the level of light intensity that is actually needed. Dynamic light sequences which can be triggered when necessary provide an additional effect. When the touchscreen is touched, the LED modules emit calming waves of light which move across the ceiling and are hardly noticeable.
The dynamic light control system even conjures up natural scenes in the building:
Light clouds which slowly drift by above the heads of visitors. About NIMBUS GmbH:
