Explore our luminous sky ceilings in healthcare and commercial installations

Kumamoto University Hospital in Kumamoto City, Japan, includes a specialized therapeutic radiology room where a Remote Afterloading System (RALS), which is operated remotely using a computer, delivers precise radioactive doses using a sealed needle or tubular source.

Given the invasive and sophisticated nature of the procedure, coupled with the sterile and highly artificial nature of the medical equipment necessary for this procedure makes patient relaxation a top priority for a smooth session.

One of the most effective ways to counteract the apprehension generated by the procedure is to experience a tangible escape from the surrounding environment.

The 5-foot (150cm) Aperture SkyCeiling above the patient bed provides palpable proximity to an overhead vista that the patient instantly recognizes as soothing and comforting.

The illusory sky serves as a valuable cognitive and affective anchor that enables the patient to feel closer to an open sky, which is a universal source of comfort and relaxation.
