Concept
The Lumen building comprises a ground floor and a first floor shopping
level, with nine apartments above. The shopping levels have been
designed with flexible layouts, respecting the everchanging demand
for numbers and sizes of individual shops. The overall development,
with a relatively high-use density, has been designed as an urban
volume. The design concept has led to modeling this urban volume in
such a way that an optimum flow of daylight and space cuts through
the building. This concept has been applied on both urban level, as
well as on individual apartment level. On an urban level this concept
results in the visual accessibility of the overall building, whereas on
apartment level it means light will enter the individual unit through the
courtyard. Each apartment has its own character, and has been
positioned based on views out and sun orientation.
