The best way to maximize sunlight penetration of a large apartment block is to do as the Sydney Boston University Residence does and create vertical channels through the center of the structure.
Designed by Silvester Fuller and Tony Owen Partners, these daylight-loving dormitories ensure students aren't starved of the sun. Featuring ground-to-sky windowed crevices that split the massive structure into three sections, the Sydney Boston University Residence shines its own colorful glow into the city.
