Architecure

Owner: Sparkasse Fürstenfeldbruck

Architect: Stammberger & Wild, Fürstenfeldbruck near Munich

Lighting Design: Bartenbach LichtLabor, Innsbruck-Aldrans

Location: Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany

Assignment

  • glare-free illumination of an office building with natural daylight (light colour, dynamics etc.)
  • comfortable ambience without complicated air-conditioning
  • low energy costs

Solution

  • installation of an exterior, moveable prismatic sun protection system on the cleaning and emergency-escape balcony
  • complete shadowing of glazed parts of the facade during high levels of sunlight (g grade of facade < 0.08)
  • inner venetian blinds direct diffuse daylight towards ceiling, thereby reducing luminance values of glazed surfaces for computer screen work
  • reflectors are situated on solid ceiling to reflect artifical light and daylight without glare towards workstations.
