Anchored on a hill overlooking the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge, this laboratory houses researchers creating transport fuels from sunlight. Extraordinary views and generous daylighted interiors during the day are coupled with welcoming, quality luminous environments after sunset. With a mission and client devoted to sustainability, efficient lighting sources, fixtures and design were crucial. Daylight harvesting sensors, occupancy sensors and sun control are all utilized to reduce electrical demand and deliver balanced visual comfort to occupants engaged in demanding tasks. Connection to nature and circadian rhythms are supported by the diurnal pattern that shifts from cool daylight to warmer electrical light at dusk. The building is zoned for light. The concrete base houses light-sensitive labs and the taut metal skin above opens for views and abundant daylight in laboratories and offices, casual meeting spaces and work groups. These spaces balance daylight from windows with skylights, direct/indirect pendants and direct pendants. |
