Architects are finding new ways to bring natural light into sad, dark offices
Briefly

CBT, a Boston-based architecture firm, is addressing the challenges presented by office buildings that lack natural light due to their positioning or structure. Utilizing passive design strategies, they are developing various approaches to enhance the office space's brightness without added energy consumption. Solutions such as reflective surfaces, adjusted facades, and curving walls allow light to travel further into buildings. This approach is particularly beneficial in industries like law and finance that traditionally prioritize private offices that often neglect the central areas' lighting.
Some office buildings are not blessed with natural light, leading to increased energy use and lower employee well-being, prompting architects to innovate with design solutions.
CBT explores passive design solutions to enhance natural light in office buildings, focusing on reflective surfaces and curving walls to create visually connected spaces.
