Light-filled canteen

For the more than 300 employees, manufacturer of natural medicines, Salus Haus, has replaced its run-down canteen with the "Salusteria" - a striking new building that reflects the philosophy of the traditional company in terms of its simplicity and choice of materials used. Untreated wood and natural stone from the region demonstrate the company’s connection to nature.

Four Longlights, comprising 64 VELUX Modular Skylights, integrated into the striking pent roof, provide plenty of daylight and create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. A clever combination of visual references to the outside space and the incidence of light from above ensures a sense of openness and maximum brightness in the employee canteen.

This well-thought-out form of daylight design creates an impressive lighting mood that changes hourly, something that is otherwise found only in glass orangeries.

With the VELUX Modular Skylights we found a product that met our exact requirements for the south-facing roof area.

The VELUX skylight openings allowed us to achieve maximum transparency, and to fulfil the requirements for summer thermal insulation.

Natural ventilation and sun screening create an optimum indoor climate

The VELUX Modular Skylights do not just have the task of providing light. They are also part of the comfort ventilation and smoke ventilation strategy. In addition to smoke extraction, 32 openable modules also ensure particularly effective and fast natural ventilation for optimal indoor air quality. Electrically-operated roller blinds ensure pleasant room temperatures in summer.
