Healthcare and Hospitals
Circadian daylight for wards, treatment rooms and corridors with no access to windows or natural light.
A hospital asks people to stay still, often for a long time, in rooms designed around equipment rather than around the person in them. The one thing almost every patient does is look up.
Research has long connected daylight with recovery, and the mechanism is not mysterious. Light regulates the body clock, and the body clock regulates sleep, hormones and mood, all of which affect how someone heals. In rehabilitation wards a view of open sky softens the sense of confinement and supports a more optimistic outlook. For staff working long rotating shifts the same light supports alertness. These are the spaces daylight was never going to reach, and they are the ones people occupy the longest.

Why it works here
Health and mood
Regular exposure to daylight helps regulate sleep, lifts mood and supports mental wellbeing.
A connection to nature
We are outdoor beings who spend our days inside. Our eyes want to see sky, and a building that gives them one feels different to occupy.
A more spacious feel
Light draws the eye upward, so low ceilings and deep plans read as considerably larger and more open.
Circadian rhythm
Colour and brightness shift every 6 seconds to follow the real sun at site latitude.
A day and night cue
Where orientation is the objective, a changing sky gives a windowless room a visible sense of the hour.
