High-quality lighting for gymnasium Grünwald


Not only from outside but from inside the gymnasiumof the community Grünwald in Bavaria shows quality. It is the first German school where all class rooms are provided with biodynamic lighting.

To realize biodynamic lighting especially designed lighting strip system were used. They allow to change the light color - depending on the situation - which can have a calming or an inciting effect. 

The gymnasium Grünwald in Upper Bavaria consists of areas for education, the cafeteria building, gymnasium, the caretaker's apartments and associated leisure facilities, such as the schoolyard. It has 34 general classrooms, 10 music, drawing, crafts and sewing areas, as well as a photo lab. There are also 11 classrooms reserved for natural sciences. As part of a coherent overall concept, the degree of identification of the individual parts of the building is very high.

For the conference and office spaces lighting designer named Hubert Saegmüller of light technology and design decided to use the VARIATIC pendant luminaires because of its parabolic louvres with an UGR value higher than 19.

The floors, staircases and relaxation areas have a mix of grand dimensional CLEAR surface-mounted luminaires in a special mounted version and efficient TENTEC ZONO downlights with high quality. Especially the combination of flat and accentuated lighting set architectural accents.

The inclination of the CLEAR surface-mounted luminaires by 4° additionally provides exciting aspects in the design. The formal reduction and subtle materiality of aluminum and white acrylic predestined the CLEAR family as a starting point for the architectural ceiling design.
