Gustav Heinemann School, Berlin
Providing the atrium with sufficient daylight is a central theme of the design by kklf architects. Our task in this project was to carry out a comprehensive daylight study for the two-storey main hall of the modern school building in order to assess the building physics requirements. The results of our audit led to an optimization of the building planning with regard to the design and size of the skylights and the materiality of the room surfaces.

When developing the artificial lighting concept, we were guided by the findings from daylight planning. The lines of light along the walls accentuate the exterior room areas of the atrium. At the same time, this effectively illuminates the corridor areas with the lowest daylight quotient. The atrium can be used almost all day without additional artificial light. We continued the lighting concept of the external light lines in all path areas within the school building, thus creating a consistent, homogeneous light image.
