Office and commercial building Spoorth GmbH, Chemnitz

With the slogan “You can do more” the Center for Motion Analysis and Performance Diagnostics in Chemnitz focuses on both ambitious amateur and competitive athletes.

The retail business with an emphasis on running shoes offers an in-house motion analysis lab. Whether on foot or bicycle, the highly complex motion sequences of humans lie at the center of interdisciplinary consideration between sports science and orthopedics.

A former coal bunker and present-day industrial monument offered the perfect location for this concept and was transformed in a respectful and innovative way. All functional areas of the business are bound together by a white band which also incorporates the two-story space within.

In accordance with the color scheme, track spotlights from the seventies series in white and black are installed. As desired by the client, mawa outfitted the spotlights in-house with specific retail LED modules. The characteristic light quality supports the presentation of merchandise and the perception of space at the same time. The Intrac adapters disappear completely within the confines of the track and reduce the lighting elements to the absolute minimum.
