Norikool

Norikool® by Skyshade is an advanced rooftop daylighting skylight system designed to bring natural sunlight into industrial and commercial buildings while reducing dependence on artificial lighting. Installed on metal roofs or RCC roofs, the system distributes uniform natural light across large indoor spaces such as factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities. Norikool uses UV-resistant double or triple glazed prismatic lenses that allow sunlight to enter the building while minimizing glare, heat gain, and uneven light distribution. This creates a brighter and more comfortable indoor environment while supporting energy-efficient building design. More

Eulalia by BURR Studio forms part of a developing strategy to protect Madrid’s industrial heritage
