Creative lighting design at Schoolhouse Steindler, Unterseen BE
At Schoolhouse Steindler in Unterseen near Interlaken, it becomes clear how lighting design can transform spaces. The listed building from 1913 was carefully renovated in 2011/12 and has since combined historical charm with modern elements. An inspiring place for learning with a unique character.
Vibrant lighting landscape with LIBRE CIRCLE 2.0®
The lighting concept relies entirely on the versatility of the LIBRE CIRCLE 2.0®, transforming the school’s interior into a modern, vibrant lighting landscape. All four available sizes of the round LED luminaire – 250, 300, 400 and 600 mm – were used, intentionally arranged at irregular intervals and heights. The result: a dynamic play of light and geometry that provides orientation while creating a pleasant learning atmosphere.
Durable and robust – perfect for everyday school life
Another benefit of the LIBRE CIRCLE 2.0®: It is IK10-certified, meaning it withstands high mechanical stress. Especially in schools, where many people move around daily, this impact resistance according to IEC 62262 is a key quality feature.
Flexibility for every requirement
Both surface-mounted and pendant versions were used in this project, in ON/OFF and emergency lighting versions. This allows for flexible lighting solutions tailored to different areas – from corridors to common spaces and entrance zones.
Conclusion: Design meets functionality
Schoolhouse Steindler is a prime example of how good design, functionality and longevity can be combined – with lighting solutions that convince not only functionally, but also aesthetically.
