Daylight and Lighting Design

Why Daylighting Matters

Natural light significantly impacts occupant wellbeing, energy efficiency, and the overall sustainability of buildings.

In Nordic regions, where daylight availability varies drastically across seasons, thoughtful daylight design becomes crucial. Our approach ensures spaces are well-lit during darker months while preventing excessive glare during brighter periods.

Sustainability Through Daylight

Effective daylighting reduces reliance on artificial lighting and cooling,

leading to energy savings and lower carbon emissions. By integrating daylight strategies, we contribute to creating buildings that are both environmentally responsible and economically beneficial.
