About Nexus Romlig Merkevareopplevelse

På en sentral plassering inne i Østerrikes høyeste bygning, Wiens DC Tower, har Responsive Spaces skapt et merkevarerom for å oppleve tårnets verdier: The Nexus presenterer et sted for å hvile, knytte kontakt og gjenforene. Denne medieinstallasjonen bruker digital informasjon, lyd og lys for å ta besøkende med på en visuelt ladet reise og knytte dem emosjonelt til bygningens sjel. Et ekstra berøringsgrensesnitt gjør det mulig for gjester å utforske alt på egen hånd. Mens det digitale innholdet vises, oversvømmes rommet av fargekodede og tidssynkroniserte lysmønstre.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties
The Nexus is a central location inside the highest building in Austria, the DC Tower in Vienna, that is designed to bring its brand to life. This media installation takes visitors on a visually charged journey through the towers values and beliefs. Light emotionalizes those values with unique intensity while an interactive tablet allows individual exploration.
At the heart of the DC Tower, the Nexus is intended to inspire every time. The selected themes flood the room in colour-coded patterns to support the digital information on the display.
Dimensions & Packaging
The room as the size of approximately 3 meters in width and 12 meters in length

Production Technology
A 75'' display, 48x RGB LED luminaires, foil wrapping and 8x light boxes specially developed for the room to visually redesign the (previously visible and unattractive) rear of the hotel lifts.
An iPad allows the interaction by visitors.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge of this project was the fact, that the space and its situation were given and not allowing regular ways of creating a brand space.
Therefore we created this design, utilizing the backside walls of the existing elevators by adding designed lightboxes, that feature in total 48 meters of controllable Led lights inside of them. This way, we were able to flood the room emotionally. It enabled us to create an immersive space, although we just used one digital display to communicate all relevant information.
Research
No particular research was needed for this projects. Its main purpose is brand staging and the goal to create an additional highlight experience for tenants and visitors alike.
Inspiration
The DC Tower is unique building in Austria featuring an iconic facade that pays homage to the Danube that flows right next to it. The tower management has a strong believe in its values and wanted to communicate these to all visitors and tenants.
An empty space on ground level should become the new emotional center of the tower and allow all visitors to experience the unique mindset of the tower and its values.
Project Duration
The project started in Oktober 2023 and finished in April 2024 in the DC Tower in Vienna, Austria.
Operation Flow
The room communicated with visitors on its own by using the light installation to delivery different brand values. Nevertheless, an iPad on the entry point of the room allows visitors to actively choose between the core topics and trigger them on demand. This feature is particularly important for guides, that start their many tours through the whole tower in this room, from now on.
