GLASSFLOOR® walk-on skylights serve as innovative design elements in modern architecture. They bring natural daylight into the rooms below, allow for the full use of walkable surfaces, and add high-quality architectural accents.
Whether it’s custom manufacturing, special solutions, or high-volume production in standard sizes, GLASSFLOOR® offers the right solution for a wide range of project requirements—precisely planned, high-quality manufactured, and tailored to the architecture, intended use, and technical specifications.
A 20-meter-long, custom-made skylight illuminates an indoor swimming pool
A 20 × 1-meter custom-made skylight strip brings natural daylight into the swimming pool below, creating a bright, open, and pleasant atmosphere.
Another skylight strip measuring 8.5 × 0.7 m was integrated into a seating area and provides natural light to the fitness room below. This creates spaces in the basement that are significantly brighter, more inviting, and architecturally striking.
The custom-made GLASSFLOOR® skylights were installed on-site and seamlessly integrated into the existing architecture. The project was carried out in collaboration with the engineering firm Atelier Glasnhof.
24 skylights in the playground illuminate an underground gym
The new “Schule und Sport Ried” building, a primary school in Köniz (BE), impressively demonstrates the qualities of GLASSFLOOR®: compact construction with high-quality natural lighting, without sacrificing valuable outdoor space.
A total of 24 walk-on skylights have been integrated into the playground, providing the sports hall below with natural daylight. This allows the outdoor area to remain fully usable, while creating a bright, welcoming, and functional atmosphere in the basement.
GLASSFLOOR®'s work included daylight calculations, sizing, placement, and determining the optimal number of skylights to ensure balanced lighting in the sports hall.
The project was carried out in collaboration with Büning-Pfaue Kartmann Architects.
