The daylighting design is consciously connected to the spatial design of the project, particularly due to the inherent interconnection between view (out) and light (in). The architectural design intent encourages a fluid inside/outside relationship, including sliding doors and thoughtfully placed windows (for light, air, and view). This interior/exterior spatial relationship is essential given the project's economical space. The intention is to project a feeling of expansion from the inside by providing a strong visual and physical connection to the greater outdoors. The architectural material surfaces are intentionally light colored to encourage light reflectance in order to enhance a sense of spaciousness.

The electric lighting is designed to be efficient, effective, and unobtrusive: ambient luminescence with a touch of focal glow. The chosen lighting technologies include fluorescent, compact fluorescent, and light emitting diodes (LED); dimming technology is utilized where appropriate for energy savings and user control. Throughout the house, the style of the luminaries is intended to be subdued and contemporary in harmony with the architectural design.
