Light and Space: The Power of Natural Light in Architecture
How does natural light transform the atmosphere of a space? On architecture's most powerful — and cheapest — material.
Light is architecture's most invisible yet most effective material. Before the walls, we think about how light enters a space.

Architecture is a quiet game of light playing with shadows.
Material choice is directly related to light. Matte surfaces soften light, while glossy surfaces expand the space with reflections.
