Project Brief

This project is a residential project for our clients who is an Alzheimer’s disease patient. As bright and full spectrum light from 5000lux to 10000lux can be beneficial to reset the circadian rhythm for patients suffering from the Alzheimer disease. And bright light is helpful to treat sleep disorder. Natural light is the most viable light source that satisfies criteria. Increasing of illumination in daylighting, combining pre-set light scenes is one of main strategy of this design to create a sufficiently bright light space. .

With expectation to have a good daylight-lit space, architects adopt the ideas of natural daylighting, and maximize possible openings in loft levels and ground floor after considering overheat issue in summer sessions. Considering that our clients are inconvenient to moer around with wheelchair, another strategy is utilizing handrail light to guide them. Handrail light installed at sitting height is recessedunder handrail and the beam angles properly cover the corridors in this house. This ensures the user could easily move around in this house with illumination of handrail light.
