To ensure maximum daylight without overexposure to the artworks, the daylit galleries on the first floor have a louvre system installed underneath the windows in the pitched roof. These louvres are adjusted according to the available daylight: less open during the summer and more open in winter, to ensure the appropriate levels of light exposure. Between the louvres and the horizontal laylight an array of fluorescent fixtures is provided to achieve additional and constant light levels in the galleries. When blackout is required, the louvres can be completely closed;


As part of the design brief, a scale model of one gallery was made to test the lighting relationship between the skylight, laylight


and vellum to ensure that the architectural intent would be met. During construction a full-scale mock-up of the louvre system was realized in one of the corner galleries to test the accuracy of the computer modelling and the acceptability of the lighting. This enabled the client to see in advance what the effect would be.


Existing building main stair The main stair in the existing building was carefully restored and is the only interior area where original 19th century architectural details have been retained. As this area contains no light-sensitive artworks the daylighting levels can be higher, so this space has its original skylight


visible without a vellum screen. In 1986 the American artist Dan Flavin (1933-1996) was commissioned by the Stedelijk to create a light art installation for the main stair. This same installation was purchased for the reopening of the museum and now provides the artificial lighting for the first floor landing, which functions as the main photo opportunity location in the museum.


New building


Daylight at ground floor level of the new building is abundant due to the full height glass façade. In the evenings, recessed ceiling fixtures ensure appropriate light levels without cluttering the space. In the
