Skylights turned into luminaires.

Layers of suspended mesh diffuse daylight through the atrium, transforming the ceiling into a luminous atmospheric surface.

From study to scale.

A full-scale mockup exploring reflection, transparency, and the interaction between daylight and suspended mesh surfaces.

Testing how light could dissolve the edge of the skylight and soften the perception of the ceiling plane.

Skylight as luminaire.

Studying how suspended reflective surfaces could transform daylight into an atmospheric field rather than a direct source.

A perceptual study exploring diffusion, reflection, and orientation through geometry and material.

Light not only as illumination, but as part of the material palette.

A gentle wash across the vertical surfaces creates a softer spatial atmosphere, bringing warmth, depth, and visual comfort to the room.

Light repeated in intervals, shaping depth, shadow, and movement through the corridor.

Circularity in Lighting ♻️

Circularity proposes a shift away from the traditional cradle-to-grave model toward systems centered on reuse, refurbishment, adaptability, and redistribution.

Rather than treating lighting as disposable, this framework imagines lighting systems evolving across multiple users and lifecycles over time.

Lighting Forward ♻️

This month’s In Situ explores circularity in lighting,reflecting on reuse, adaptability, material stewardship, and the future lifecycle of lighting systems.

Alongside the research, we share reflections from Japan and the atmospheres, materiality, and spatial sensibilities that continue to shape our relationship with light.

As conversations around embodied carbon continue to reshape architecture and construction, lighting remains at the beginning of its own sustainability dialogue.

This research explores how the industry can rethink lighting beyond specification alone, considering lifecycle, reuse, and long-term material impact.

Passage

Light reveals itself differently in motion.
A quiet transition between shadow and glow, where depth softens and the edges of the room begin to disappear.
The figure becomes scale, silhouette, and presence within the composition.

Threshold of light

A field of vertical light compresses space into a moment, where the body becomes part of the composition.
Intensity, repetition, and reflection dissolve edges, creating an almost immaterial boundary between light and surface.

A dynamic play of linear light creates rhythm and continuity across the workplace, bringing structure, repetition, and visual calm to the space.
