The Katmai Eye Vision Center required a lighting environment fundamentally different from conventional commercial interiors — one that eliminates glare, diffuses harsh daylight, and maintains consistent color rendering for diagnostic accuracy.
North-facing clerestory glazing combined with indirect LED supplemental lighting creates a uniform 350–500 lux environment throughout the exam rooms without a single direct light source in the patient's field of view.
The patient flow sequence is organized around a central spine that separates retail optical from clinical examination — reducing wait times and improving privacy without sacrificing the open, welcoming quality the client required.
