VELUX Architectural Competition 2022

Show us your ingenuity in using daylight!

Architects, interior architects, and planners from Germany, Austria and Switzerland can present their projects to a renowned jury. Great importance is attached to the targeted positioning of daylight solutions to create an atmospheric room ambience. The prerequisite is that the daylight concept and lighting atmosphere have, at least in part, been implemented using VELUX products.

From 2 November 2021, projects of high architectural quality in which light, space and human play a central role in the design can be submitted. In order to be able to assess the quality of the daylight concept and the light penetration in particular, representative interior photos are advantageous:
