Natural light is key in any space, and research suggests that incorporating more sunlight can help with everything from reducing overall stress levels to encouraging healthier sleep patterns. Windows let in views and breezes, and light wells reduce our reliance on artificial light. Blending indoor and outdoor spaces can be achieved with a variety of building products such as opening glass wall systems, which create spaces that integrate outdoor elements of natural light and views, while ensuring the creature comforts of indoors such as climate control. As mentioned in a 2015 article from Fast Company, Google’s alterations to make their offices more human-centric rendered huge benefits, causing employees to feel “deeper focus, more creative and more productive” due to having more access to natural light and other biophilic elements.
