We have always placed great importance on understanding and managing the environmental impact of our work, whether we are working on a commercial architecture project or a residential home. Our ultimate goal is to limit damage to the environment and to make the most efficient possible use of resources and materials throughout every step. As part of this, we embrace the benefits of allowing as much natural light as possible to flow through a building.
Historically, commercial buildings have always incorporated this same value. For many years, industrial and commercial properties were built with vast gaps, open layouts and huge windows to let the light in. This was done not so much for aesthetic reasons, but to allow a level of visibility which meant that people could work easily. The advent of artificial lighting meant that such measures were no longer required, and so trends in commercial architecture changed.
Our passion is for incorporating the benefits of natural light into commercial architecture. Natural light creates a sense of space and a natural feeling of wellbeing. Working environments which cut out the usual sources of natural light experience lower productivity and morale, which shows why natural light is so important.
Whenever we are working on a commercial property, we encourage the client to embrace and share our passion for the benefits of natural light. We firmly believe that light is one of the precious few natural resources available to us that exists in an infinite abundance, so we should always seek to make the most of it.
While a free flow of natural light through a home creates a sense of space and relaxation, in commercial architecture it has an important psychological effect, allowing everyone in the place of work to feel comfortable and uplifted. We look forward to bringing these qualities to your project when you choose us as your architect in London.
