Layered natural + electric zones

Design with north-facing windows or skylights for consistent natural light. Add electric layers that supplement in morning/evening. Automated shading adjusts for time of day. Electric light color tracks solar cycle.

Complex Premium
Approach Detail

Maximize north-facing glazing (or skylights with diffusing glazing) for even, glare-free daylight. Install motorized shading for intensity control. Electric lighting in warm-dim or tunable white, positioned to supplement not compete with natural. Program: sunrise classes use mostly natural; evening classes transition to full electric. Shading automation tracks solar position.

Key Fixtures

Natural light optimization, motorized shading, supplementary tunable fixtures, lighting control integration.

Designer Notes

Capture interplay of natural and electric light. Morning class with streaming daylight. Evening class with warm artificial glow. Transitions should feel natural. Show yoga practitioners in beautiful, varied light.
