Gustav Heinemann School, Berlin
The adequate supply of daylight to the atrium 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 examination led to an optimization of the building planning with regard to the design and size of the skylights as well as the materiality of the room surfaces.

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