Darron Haylock presented the ICÔNE Belval as a showcase of architecture with dayligt

His messages were backed in a rich compilation of projects from the Sulis Hospital Bath and Maggie’s Manchester to his recent work on ICÔNE, the luminous, greenery-filled offices in Luxembourg, where 700 VELUX Modular Skylights create a vibrant, sunlit environment for all occupants.

Darron Haylock, architect and partner at Foster + Partners opened the Symposium with a lecture centered on the relationship between architecture and natural light. He explained and showed how designing architecture with natural light can increase productivity and improve health and general wellbeing for building occupants.

At VELUX Commercial, we are proud to help realise these visions and support health and wellbeing in offices through our innovative daylighting solutions.
