LEONARDO GLASS CUBE Germany 2015
I realized this project in April in cooperation with Leonardo to extend my architectural portfolio. I really loved the overall architectural design from the very first time I saw it. The all natural looking flowing forms and curves and the white, abstract designed structures together with awesome interior light installations create a very calm and positive atmosphere. One other highlight is the 6m tall free-standing glass facade, which was produced by Leonardo and foliated with analog medium format landscape prints that you can see from the inside. On location I shot this building for four days plus another day for the inside. Postprocessing all 23 photos including a lot of manual blending, color corrections and some heavy pano stitchings took about two and a half month to finish, maybe about two hours a day ~ 150 hrs total.
The ‘glass cube’ communicates the world and personality of the brand LEONARDO and turns vision into reality. The numerously awarded design unites the brand values ‘inspiration’, ‘emotion’ and ‘quality’ in an architectonic way. An interdisciplinary design team,the team of architects from ‘3deluxe’ designed the futuristic building for LEONARDO which consists (at first sight) of two opposing elements: a strict geometric cube and a free form made of curved, white walls, set in this cover. With the combination of architecture, interior and graphical design as well as landscaping to an integrated design concept, ‘3deluxe’ built a complex unit with futuristic charm. The design team ‘3deluxe’ formed up in Wiesbaden (Germany) in 1992, consisting of communication designers Andreas and Stephan Lauhoff, interior designer Nikolaus Schweiger and designer Dieter Brell.
