08 Dec, 2025
A » A lightwell is a vertical shaft within a building, open to the sky, designed to allow natural light to penetrate deeper into the interior spaces. Commonly used in urban residential design, it improves lighting and ventilation in areas that might otherwise be dark or poorly ventilated, enhancing the quality of life for residents. Lightwells are especially beneficial in dense urban environments where exterior windows may be limited.
