Rendition of natural colours
Possibility of high illuminance levels
Low energy consumption Solution

Large inner courtyard area with louvre/glass elements
An even light beam distribution for illumination of the courtyard and the peripheral workspaces
No direct ingress of sunlight: sunspots, hard shadows, sunlight reflections etc.
Protection of people working in the courtyard. Sunrays do not reach bare skin
Selected parts of the insulation glass are constructed without a louvre: limited entry of direct sunlight
Sunlight causes an ornamental interplay of light and shadow on the floor area
The inner courtyard has an agreeable ambience even with sunlight
