October Chapter Meeting

Lighting The Way To Improved Wellness At Home
And How the Kitchen Designer Can Help

Presented by Doug Walter, Architect and Jeni Finnigan, Occupational Therapist

Light is one of the most powerful tools in the designer’s tool chest. Used properly, it not only enhances the appearance of a space, it can compensate for low vision and enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the occupant, and promote healing, rest, and relaxation.

Keep up with the latest research and technology  in the field of light and health, and how designers can use this information immediately to create kitchens, baths, and whole homes that support healing and growth while appealing to our aesthetic sense.
