RESIDENTIAL

Garages, Basements and Utility

Subterranean daylight turns garages and basements into architectural marvels.

Below ground, a room announces itself before you have looked at anything in it. The ceiling is low, the light is flat, and the body registers all of it in the first second.

What makes a basement feel underground is not the depth. It is the ceiling. Light that plane and the sense of being below the ground largely goes, because the eye is drawn upward and the room reads as taller. These are also the spaces we now ask to do the most work. Gyms, cellars, workshops, laundries, second living rooms. Adding sunlight to them turns square metres that were tolerated into square metres that get used.

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

So realistic that the only way your friends find out they are not real is if you tell them.
