Conclusion
Proper management of natural and artificial light in architectural spaces is essential for people’s well-being and productivity. At INGAR, we apply these neuroarchitecture principles by optimizing natural light entry, carefully selecting the temperature of artificial lighting, and using materials that maximize luminosity. In this way, we create functional and healthy environments that enhance our clients’ quality of life.
