SORØ ACADEMY WALL

SORØ ACADEMY WALL 

Since the areas where students and teachers move around at Sorø Academy were very dark, additional lighting was needed between the buildings.

Instead of adding more pole-mounted luminaires in Fratergården, a completely different solution was chosen.

Inspired by the existing modern pole lights in the area—originally designed by Karsten Rønnow’s Studio—ERIK Architects designed two types of wall-mounted luminaires. These were installed on the corners of the main building and on the church facade facing Fratergården.

The new wall-mounted luminaires serve a dual purpose: they illuminate the historic buildings decoratively while also casting light onto the previously dark areas between the buildings.
