The new building of the SOS Children's Village in Düsseldorf offers a wide range of creative possibilities
The three-part building ensemble, designed by KRESINGS architects and currently nominated for the polis AWARD 2022, combines not only residential groups and children's village families, but also a district café, a daycare centre, a multi-generational house and an educational centre. A freely accessible playground serves as a meeting point for all residents in the neighbourhood.
The friendly façade design with vertical wooden slats is also continued in the open-plan architecture of the interior, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing generous views and insights. The cafeteria is characterised by natural colour tones, which create a harmonious atmosphere, supported by large ring lights with soft light emission. A total of 24 ACOUSTIC LIGHT PANELS with a diameter of 1272 mm or 1582 mm were installed in the building, combining homogeneous light with a reduction in impact sound. The 45 mm flat ring luminaires are fitted with an additional special acoustic membrane that contributes to an audible improvement in acoustics.
Arranged to float loosely, the ring-shaped light/acoustic elements in combination with an additional 21 pure ACOUSTIC PANELS provide not only a lighting effect but also significantly improved room acoustics, which has a very positive effect in rooms with a lot of pedestrian traffic.
Better room acoustics and elegant lighting perfectly combined
There are often many children in one room at daycare centres and schools - this means a high level of noise, from which children and adults alike suffer. The topic of "noise in educational establishments and daycare centres" has therefore increasingly become the focus of public and scientific interest in recent years. Acoustic measurements show high noise levels and long reverberation times in many facilities - including recently renovated buildings and new buildings.
The SATTLER portfolio includes various luminaires that affect room acoustics in different ways and lead to a noticeable improvement.
Die Mischung von schlichten, eleganten Leuchtenformen und dem zusätzlichen Vorteil der Licht-/ Akustikkombination wird Sie überzeugen.
