Explore our luminous sky ceilings in healthcare and commercial installations

The Computerized Tomography (CT) suite at Kumamoto University Hospital features a 1.2m X 2.4m Luminous SkyCeiling above a GE Optima CT scanner. The Luminous SkyCeiling generates a visceral illusion of vertical depth that opens up the space and dissipates the common experience of claustrophobia that patients report in isolated oncology bunkers.

Kumamoto University Hospital in Kumamoto City, Japan, can trace its medical roots back to the 16th Century when Lord Shigekata Hosokawa, the 6th daimyo (feudal lord) of the Kumamoto of Hosokawa clan established the Saishunkan Medical School in 1756.

The ancient medical school that first taught internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, as well as pediatrics and acupuncture, continues its innovative tradition by incorporating the most effective, evidence-based design virtual skylights to enhance patient wellness.
