Explore our luminous sky ceilings in healthcare and commercial installations

Most imaging vaults are located in the basement floor or in an interior area of the hospital closer to the building core.

This placement is necessary as imaging vaults feature specialized shielding to contain any scatter radiation during equipment operation. In order to counteract the sealed quality of a CT environment, Chiba University Hospital opted for Sky Factory’s Luminous SkyCeilings.

The design framework that creates these research-verified illusory skies uses high definition, large format photographic Open Sky Compositions. These images of the sky use daylight-quality LEDs to generate a color temperature (6500K) that dovetails with what the human eye identifies as a clear midday or early afternoon.

The crisp blue skies, cloud formations and colorful buds from the overhanging branches create a recognizable pattern that engages focal and peripheral vision, effortlessly creating the palpable illusion of vertical depth in close proximity to the supine patient.
