Taking inspiration from "Vaastu" , an Indian School of Thought on Architecture, we chose to think a little about building a workspace around light rather than a light around the workspace. This idea is commonly incorporated in the architecture of any traditional Indian house where the "aangan" is this central source of light.

The above image juxtaposes the aforementioned traditional Indian house with one that is built along more western/modern lines. This Indian house has a skylight that lets natural light that illuminates the home. These homes are ubiquitously found in South India and in some parts of North West India like, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
