Light space with wood, steel and glass

Jansen as Door systems, window systems, facades systems

A parish hall, which had already been approved for demolition, is unexpectedly listed as a protected building and the parish is now obliged to maintain it. It could be used as a community centre, the only problem is how to bring light to the darkness in this almost windowless building? The solution is surprisingly simple and was implemented using a large amount of glass and various steel profile systems from Swiss company Jansen AG.
