TRIANON FRANKFURT, GERMANY |
|
|
| |
 |
The bank building Trianin received the ‘femb award 2003 Office of the year’. OX2 architects, Aachen/Germany, realised the construction and created an official visit card for the reception and conference floor functioning as an interface for external and internal procedures.

The floor is situated in the 186m Trianin Tower in Frankfurt Westend. The grounds plans depict an equilateral triangle that is likewise cut into three triangular core fields. When leaving the elevator, the visitor steps on an homogenous illuminated glass ground in the central foyer amid a positive tension between the blue, green and orange core. Compatible to this style the Merten glass push-buttons are embedded in the wall. The range TRANCENT with its glass surface hiding invisible sensors fits into the play of colours and reflections in this continuum of space.

The Oval Office in Hamburg, designed by the architects nps tchoban voss, is named for its elliptical form. The complex boasts around 26 thousand square metres of space. The challenge for Merten was to develop an efficient concept for controlling the lighting and lightscenes (including by IR remote control). Merten's answer was a comprehensive KNX installation and the switch range ARTEC. |

IMP GODOVIC |
|
|

Godovic is in south-western Slovenia, 60 km from the Italian border. It has been home to the headquarters of IMP, which manufactures air conditioners, since 1977. The company has approximately 200 employees.

Solution:
As part of the extensive renovations to the administration building, the electrical installation was equipped with KNX components to switch the lighting automatically. In offices and conference rooms this is achieved with ARGUS presence detectors, while flush-mounted ARGUS 180 movement detectors are used in corridors and passageways. The KNX system is connected to the existing heating system from Klöckner-Möller via a Suconet gateway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The idea is to expand the system when further renovations are carried out. |
