Natural light in architecture in homes or offices not only has immense health benefits but also leads to better productivity and comfort. It’s not just the high electricity consumption on artificial lighting that has led to demand and inclination towards better naturally lit spaces, it’s also the increasing understanding of its benefits that has led to consideration of light as a key element in contemporary architecture.
Light makes one feel happy, energetic, low, cozy, or amazed by defining the comfort and atmosphere connected to space.
An ugly space can be made to look beautiful with better lighting and similarly a good space can have a dungy feel with bad lighting. Thus light in architecture impacts rooms, be it a workspace or a home.
Windows have been the main interface between the inside and outside of a building and they can broadly be divided into two main types, first the window set on the walls of a building, and second the opening light set into the roof, which is known as North lights or roof lights. With a combination of these, one can create spaces that improve human performance and lead to a better human experience.
Also, while enhancing comfort it reduces cost and energy consumption. At places where natural light cannot reach artificial lighting is done according to the type of space. Similarly, exterior lighting creates a sense of safety and in addition results in both aesthetic and functional benefits to a building. A home’s appearance can be drastically enhanced even in the dark with landscape lighting.
A thoughtful combination of material and light in architecture compliments the building’s environment and results in the better well-being of its users.
