The Transformative Power of Daylight

“Daylight is an intentional, abundant and essential element of every space.”

Daylighting design and analysis is the strategic use of natural light to illuminate interior space, reduce the need for artificial lighting and lower energy consumption. Its goal is to create environments that maximise natural light through well-considered layouts, glazing, reflective material specification and more.

Daylight is intangible and profoundly experiential. Its clear benefits, visible effects and measurable nature make it foundational in architecture. Beyond a design feature, daylight shapes how we feel, physically and mentally, through its interaction with space. Studies show that exposure to natural light can significantly improve mood, increase productivity and enhance overall health. It is the number one quality that employees ask for in their environments. At the same time, optimising it meaningfully offers opportunities to reduce energy and greenhouse gas emissions.
