Dynamic Natural Light and Natural Ventilation

We seek to create environments, which are not static, closed or sealed in, but which are of a dynamic openness, connecting rather than separating.

We favor Dynamic Natural Light 2, rhythmical throughout the day and night and indeed throughout the seasons…… offering a variety of light experiences from diffused to direct, from dark shadow to bright sunlight, from sparkling to reflected.

All spaces are specifically designed for a restorative light experience (either stimulating or restful), including multiple exposures, varying light patterns and passive solar gain where possible.

Studies have shown that this kind of variety in light experience captures and re-directs attention, relieves stress and mental fatigue, and improves concentration and ability to focus.

Similarly Natural Ventilation stimulates and re-connects with the natural world, bringing scented breezes and the seasonal sounds of nature into our buildings.

Maximized Energy Efficiency is of course the result of designing for both natural light and natural ventilation, incorporating passive solar design and minimizing summer cooling loads through architectural and landscape shading devices.
