Walkable skylights illuminate several floors in terrace house

Natural daylight flows from the rooftop terrace down to the basement of a townhouse through two stacked, walk-on GLASSFLOOR® skylights. This allows the light to be directed deep into the building across multiple levels.

These walkable light surfaces blend seamlessly and elegantly into the living space. They enhance brightness, create a sense of openness, and improve the quality of the living environment, while the areas above them remain fully usable.

Professional installations with GLASSFLOOR Skylights

In addition to high-quality products, Heliobus® places great emphasis on a professional and seamless installation process. From technical preparation to on-site implementation, we ensure careful planning, clear coordination, and expert execution.

Even in challenging construction situations, we work with experts and local specialists to find the right solution. This results in GLASSFLOOR® daylighting solutions that are installed with precision, sealed reliably, and remain functional for years to come.

Custom-made:
20-metre-long skylight

A 20 × 1 m walkable GLASSFLOOR® 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 installed above a seating area to provide natural light to the fitness room below. This creates a significantly brighter, more welcoming, and higher-quality atmosphere in that space as well.

The custom-made GLASSFLOOR® elements were installed on-site by Heliobus® and seamlessly integrated into the architecture. The project was carried out in collaboration with the engineering firm Atelier Glasnhof.

24 flat roof windows illuminate
an underground sports hall

The new "Schule und Sport Ried" elementary school in Köniz (BE) is a striking example of the qualities of GLASSFLOOR®: compact construction with excellent natural lighting, without sacrificing valuable outdoor space.

As part of the project, the services provided by Heliobus® and GLASSFLOOR® included daylight calculations, the sizing and positioning of the walk-on skylights, and determining their number. The goal was to achieve optimal natural lighting in the sports hall below.

The walk-on skylights blend seamlessly into the playground and direct natural light into the gym. This allows the outdoor area to remain fully usable, while creating a bright, welcoming, and functional atmosphere in the basement.

The project was carried out in collaboration with Büning-Pfaue Kartmann Architects.
