As part of the renovation of a historic farmhouse near Hamburg, the existing façade was reinterpreted. Narrow, vertical window openings defined the building’s appearance but allowed very little light into the entryway. The goal was to find a solution that preserves the character of the existing structure while improving the lighting in the room.

The design approach was developed in close collaboration with the architectural team. The goal was to enhance the spatial quality of the narrow openings and to use the depth of the soffits not as a limitation, but as a design opportunity.
From these conditions, a site- and project-specific installation emerged that specifically incorporates the depth of the reveals and transforms it into a space-defining element.

The prism body combines prismatic glass rods with colored antique glass. Through superimposition, refraction, and reflection, a multi-layered light pattern emerges that changes throughout the day and creates a distinctive atmosphere in the room.
Emerging from the architecture, a precisely positioned light object takes shape within the interior.

Thanks to the backlighting in the evening hours, the installation creates a unique lighting effect and maintains its presence into the night. Even on cloudy days, the prismatic glass creates a brightness reminiscent of direct sunlight. In the living room, the work becomes a central atmospheric element.
