Schicketanz whitewashed the living room’s wood walls and replaced the carpet with teak flooring reclaimed from elsewhere on site. Workers also dismantled the dark stone fireplace to widen the view, installing an efficient, compact fireplace on the southern wall. “From sunrise to sundown, you have light in the house,” Schicketanz says. “It’s bright even on gloomy days.”

Office T is a minimal office space located in Kyoto, Japan, designed by Matsunami Mitsutomo Architect & Associates. The client, a mail order company, wanted a bright and open space that would receive abundant natural lighting during the day. The architects wanted to keep the space mostly open in order to encourage communication between the employees. A series of horizontal slats array the ceiling, concealing the track lighting without covering the skylight.
