Cubicle and assembly workplaces are often devoid of natural light and views. Luminous SkyCeilings are authentic, accurate, and aesthetically pleasing simulations of real sky along with the benefits of daylight quality light. They are modular and easily retrofitted into an existing hung ceiling system. Integrated into the ceiling of the workplace, Luminous SkyCeilings provide the significant benefit of nature views without impacting the floor plan or workflow. The Sky Factory provides two continuing education courses as an AIA CES Registered Provider. Discover Illusions of Nature in Architecture (1 unit HSW credit) and learn how integrating illusions of nature into architecture promotes health and relaxation for people in enclosed spaces. Explore Sustainability, Biophilia, and Illusions of Nature (1 unit SD credit) to learn how enlivening our innate love of nature with illusions of nature promotes long term sustainability. Take these courses as free, live webinars scheduled for your convenience. CONTACT US Let us come to you. The SkyMobile showroom is the best place to experience Sky Factory products – illusions so realistic that visitors have mistaken them for real skylights and windows.
