Alex gave me a case study to research after design the other day; The CHAPEL OF ST. IGNATIUS by Steven Hall. The manner in which he introduced light into the interior by means of seven light tunnels, inspired the way in which I shall introduce light and colour to the therapy spaces of the existing, dark warehouse on Mangold Street.
With the power of colour to heal, calm and excite, light tunnels facing North-west shall supply coloured light into the interior with the help of coloured Plexiglas panels. Instead of painting the walls in bright friendly colours, a coloured glow from 'above' subtly can control the mood of the children during therapy sessions.
