Lobbies, Atriums and Circulation

Realistic sunlight on the floor and sky on the ceiling, even from 10 metres and above.

A lobby is the first impression a building makes, and an atrium is usually the most ambitious space in it. Both are experienced in a few seconds and remembered for much longer.

Volume alone does not make a space feel generous. Light does. A void with a bright ceiling reads as taller and more open than the same void lit from the walls, because the eye follows the brightest plane upward. Circulation is also where a building either feels welcoming or institutional, and daylight is the fastest way to shift it. These spaces are occupied at every hour, so light that only works between ten and three is doing half the job.

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.

Better days, better nights

A daylight cycle indoors helps balance the body clock, supporting alertness through the day and recovery at the end of it.

Lux calculations

We model the layout and confirm levels at floor before you specify, not after.

Photometric data

IES and LTD files, dimensioned vector outlines and datasheets available per model.

Every unit tested

100% of units are individually tested for light quality before shipping, not batch sampled.

Proven at height

Grids installed 8 and 10 metres above floor level, with static and blue sky specified as high as 15 metres.

Control and integration

DALI DT6 and DT8 via gateway, wired panel, wireless panel or app.

Risk free installation

No roof penetrations, no water ingress risk and no roof access. The building envelope stays intact.

Fast installation

One trade rather than four. No scaffold, no weather dependency and no open roof on a live site.
