Capturing the Light of the Parisian Sky
L'Oréal's historic headquarters in Paris went through a transformation to become an entirely new universe dedicated to company culture, innovation and the future of beauty. VELUX Commercial participated in the creation of this extraordinary, inspirational place, which resulted in having a significant impact on the indoor environment through the installation of Modular Skylights.
Renovation of a historical building has its constraints and unique challenges. New building elements can represent a modern design but still have to suit the existing historic style, integrate perfectly into the building’s fabric, and respond to comfort and safety requirements. We help refurbish existing buildings and turn them into modern, energy-efficient ones with abundant daylight.
For this project, we were asked to provide skylights for the top floor that is part of the Hairdressing Academy. Our Modular Skylights were the ideal solution for the building, meeting the requirements with regards to both function and aesthetics. The elegant glass skylights provide plenty of daylight and thermal comfort through ventilation and proper insulation.
L'Oréal also had a special request: daylighting solutions had to render the shade of light identical to the one you would have if you were outside in Paris. Therefore, the VELUX Commercial team created a glazing never used on Modular Skylights before, exclusively for L'Oréal.
