HEALTHY HOME – MAXIMISE DAYLIGHT

Why Daylight is Essential for Health

Daylight is the gold standard in lighting—it’s what humans have evolved under for millions of years, shaping our internal clocks, energy levels, and overall well-being. In modern homes, however, we often don’t get nearly enough of it. With indoor lighting levels typically ranging from 100–500 lux (the equivalent of twilight), our bodies miss out on the powerful 10,000–50,000 lux of natural daylight that supports everything from mood regulation to sleep quality. That’s why, in our Healthy Lighting Home, we’ve been intentional about maximising daylight in every space.

Smart Window Placement for Maximum Impact

One of the most important factors in daylight design is window placement. We’ve positioned bedroom windows to capture sunrise and sunset, helping our bodies sync with natural light cycles. Since most glazing blocks essential UV and infrared wavelengths, we’ve prioritised openable windows to allow full-spectrum light in—critical for health and well-being. In our most-used spaces, like the kitchen, living area, and home office, we’ve designed for as much daylight as possible, creating bright, uplifting environments that support focus and energy throughout the day.

Designing a Home That Works with Nature

While the best solution is always getting outside, our homes can be designed to work with nature, not against it. Whether you’re planning a new build or looking to improve an existing space, thinking strategically about daylight can transform how you feel and function at home.

Our aim is simple: to prove that human-centred lighting design can transform lives.
