Isartalwerkstätten

End station: Daylight and fresh air

Having served as a railway depot since the beginning of the 1900, the beautiful historical buildings in Thalkirchen, just south of Munich, Germany, had all the right features to become an inspiring hot spot for creative companies. The buildings’ elongated and circular shapes made the installation of four VELUX Modular Skylight solutions a powerful architectural measure to ensure plenty of daylight and ventilation to common areas as well as individual rooms and offices.
