A new luxury car haven is illuminated by VELUX Commercial skylights
A bespoke experience for car enthusiasts
In Budapest, Hungary, a new car dealership has opened: the Lamborghini showroom, owned by Porsche Inter Auto Hungaria. The building not only showcases some of the most luxurious and high-performance vehicles in the world but also offers an unparalleled experience for car enthusiasts and potential buyers. It features the "Ad Personam” program, which enables clients to tailor the cars to their style: the exterior and interior appearance of the cars can be fully customized.
This state-of-the-art facility was built next to the car dealer’s other showrooms selling Porsche and Bentley cars. Similarly to its neighbours, it uses geothermal energy and is planned to be supplemented with solar panels in the future. With electric car chargers in the parking lot, the facility is already prepared for the arrival of plug-in hybrid and pure electric models.
Bright and functional spaces with VELUX Commercial Dome Rooflights
VELUX Commercial supplied 15 dome rooflights for the project, strategically installed to maximize natural light and provide essential shading and ventilation. These rooflights are distributed across various sections of the building. Four domes are installed above the office spaces, ensuring a bright and comfortable working environment for the employees. One dome is positioned above the meeting room, creating a well-lit space conducive to discussions and presentations. The remaining domes are installed above the kitchen and the car service hall, including two that function as roof access hatches as well. This setup not only illuminates the workspace but also provides easy access to the roof for maintenance purposes.
Innovative shading solutions
Five of the domes are equipped with sun protection-pleated solar shading systems. These systems feature an electrical motor-driven shading mechanism with wire-guided, 1-layer folded pleating in a cream white color. With a light transmission ratio of approximately 39%, these shades effectively manage the amount of natural light entering the building, reducing glare and heat while maintaining a pleasant indoor environment. The shading systems are remotely controlled, offering convenience and flexibility in managing light and temperature.
