One of an architect’s best tools is so powerful that it can sculpt space and enhance your well-being. It is shapeless and weightless. It boosts moods and sharpens focus. The tool? Natural light.

The way in which the home is oriented toward the sun is critical. South-facing rooms receive the most and steadiest winter sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere, enabling homeowners to take advantage of heat gain when temperatures drop. North-facing sunlight, meanwhile, is consistent and diffuses throughout the day. And when it comes to windows, it’s not simply a matter of bigger is better. Placement and style must be balanced with privacy, heat gain/loss, and the need to minimize glare.

Are you happy with the way natural light comes through your home?
