Modular Skylights, Velux

Working together, Foster + Partners Industrial Design and Velux devised a simple, affordable and sustainable modular skylight for a wider range of building types, from offices to schools, retail spaces and hotels. The highly flexible solution can be used to create a single roof light, a long light well or even cover an entire atrium.

The three skylights in the range are designed to fulfil different requirements in terms of size, placement and functionality. In keeping with the refined aesthetic of many of the practice’s office projects, the design has minimal detailing and can be discreetly operated by concealed motors. They incorporate a number of controls to adjust or limit a room’s ventilation, the amount of daylight, as well as the solar heat effect. Optional screening can also be specified to limit glare and to help prevent solar heating. Automated vent modules promote efficient natural stack effect ventilation to flush exhaust air out while drawing in fresh air.
