Velux LKR Innovation House in Østbirk, Denmark
Velux LKR Innovation House is Velux's newly renovated headquarters and innovation centre in Østbirk. The workplace houses administration, warehouse, offices and laboratories. The 14,000 m2 building brings together the many different workspaces and common areas into a coherent workplace that focuses on innovation, product development and an inspiring working environment.
The building stands out because natural, raw and durable materials have been chosen, which together with the 400 skylights let nature and daylight in. For the project, Teamtronic has therefore supplied basic lighting with a special focus on the working environment and the architectural ideas. It has been carefully selected to support and imitate daylight and provide a naturally lit space in line with the well-thought-out architectural details and the client's wishes.
The lighting for the project was created in close collaboration with EL-Team Vest and the client. We arrived at a basic lighting solution with a wide range of free-standing luminaires and solutions for both indoor and outdoor lighting.
Indoors, our popular T-Arche F1 and T-Modular, which are both discreet and simple, but at the same time feel modern and prominent in their environment. The emphasis here is on lighting that imitates daylight in temperature because it supports productivity and acts energy efficiently for the buildings.
Bollards in raw aluminium are chosen for the outdoor lighting. A special LED luminaire that creates a safe and illuminated evening atmosphere. The bollards are also chosen in aluminium, which fits in with the look of the building.
The lighting is also installed with DALI control, ensuring intelligent and energy-efficient operation.
