What are the best ways to incorporate natural light and sunshine exposure into a workplace design?

1. Incorporate large windows: Large windows can allow natural light to flood into the workspace, providing a bright and airy atmosphere.

2. Install skylights: Skylights can provide an additional source of natural light to the workspace, particularly useful in enclosed spaces or areas with limited access to windows.

3. Use light-colored walls and ceilings: Using light colors on walls and ceilings can reflect natural light better, maximizing the amount that enters the space.

4. Use glass partitions: Partition walls made of glass can help to distribute natural light throughout the space while maintaining visual connection and reducing visual barriers.

5. Provide open spaces: Open-plan offices allow sunlight to penetrate further into the workspace, providing more natural light to workers.

6. Use light shelves: Light shelves can be added to windows to reflect sunlight further into the space, reducing the need for artificial lighting.

7. Emphasize indoor plants: Indoor plants can help to purify the air while bringing a sense of nature and brightness to the workspace.

8. Use flexible blinds: Flexible blinds can help to regulate the amount of natural light that enters the space while minimizing glare and maximizing comfort.
