Apartments and Compact Living

Daylight on any floor, at any time.

Apartment living is a trade. You accept less space, and often less light, for everything else it gives you. The light does not have to be part of the bargain.

In a compact home the same square metres have to work harder, and daylight is what makes them feel larger. Light from above draws the eye up, so a low ceiling stops being the limit of the room. Deep plans make it worse, because daylight from a single façade runs out within a few metres and everything behind that runs on artificial light all day. Bringing sunlight into the back half of a home changes how the whole place feels.

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 live indoors. Our eyes want to see sky, and a room that gives them one feels different to be in.

A more spacious feel

Light draws the eye upward, so compact rooms and low ceilings feel considerably larger and more open.

Circadian rhythm

The colour and brightness shift every 6 seconds to follow the real sun at your location.

Better days, better nights

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

Sunlight when you want it

It can mirror the actual time of day, or you can simply turn it on at night. A light and a skylight in one.

Very realistic
