Daylighting

Natural light for naturally beautiful, healthy, and sustainable architecture.

Having sufficient access to daylight is essential for the spatial qualities, for the well-being and health of the users, the energy consumption, and for the economic efficiency of a building.

Daylighting deals with the relationship between the ever-changing daylight and the architecture's ability to capture and utilize the unique qualities of light.

Tageslicht definiert die Architektur, es ist Teil von ihr. Mit einer präzisen Tageslichtplanung, sprich Definition der Raumgeometrien, Öffnungen wie Fenster, Oberlichter, Dachfenster, Lichtbrunnen und weiteren Tageslichtstrategien erscheint der Raum klar lesbar und trägt wesentlich zum Wohlbefinden und Gesundheit der Nutzer bei.

Light-flooded interiors and warming rays of sunshine on a cool winter morning - who wouldn't want that? But it is precisely the soothing, direct sunlight that poses a particular challenge indoors due to the risk of overheating and glare.

In the early design phases, a good basis for daylight supply can be established by considering the orientation, room geometry, dimensions, and window placement. As an additional measure, daylight analyses and digital simulations are utilized to provide a comprehensive depiction of the lighting characteristics and how daylight is distributed.
