In 2026, architects fight for every lumen of natural light. Sun-tracking mirror systems (Heliostats) allow directing solar rays into the deepest parts of a building. This not only saves energy but radically changes interior perception, filling it with live, shifting shadows.
Architecture of Reflections
Motorized heliostat mirrors, controlled by AI, are placed on the roof or facade. They catch the sun and transmit the beam via internal optical shafts into the lobby. In the center of the hall, we install a 'light sculptor' — a system of diffusing prisms or secondary mirrors. This allows illuminating the reception desk with real sunlight even on a basement floor.
Living Interior
Dynamic Shadow Play
As the sun moves, shadows in the lobby constantly shift. We design perforated panels and decor elements to create complex patterns on floors and walls. This creates a sense of connection with the outside world and the time of day, vital for the psychological comfort of people spending long hours in offices. Materials include polished steel, white marble, and low-iron (Optiwhite) glass.
