Bring daylight to every room in your home

 

Every room in your home deserves to be filled with natural light—even those in the center of your home. Unlike traditional windows, the VELUX Sun Tunnel® Skylight can be installed within an afternoon, making it one of the fastest and most inexpensive ways to transform your home with natural light.

Adding a Sun Tunnel® Skylight is a cost-effective way to add natural light to areas that need a brighter, more vibrant appearance. Their low-profile design creates a sleek appearance on any roofline, and their pre-fabricated light tube makes them quick and easy to install. Not to mention, they come with a 20-year tube warranty

Holt's most recognized artwork, Sun Tunnels  is a large-scale installation in Utah's Great Basin Desert, a four-hour drive from the UMFA. It consists of four large concrete cylinders, arranged on the desert floor in a cross pattern, that align with the sunrise and sunset on the summer and winter solstices.

In addition to this perfect solar framing

 each of the cylinders is pierced with smaller holes representing the stars of four constellations: Draco, Perseus, Columba, and Capricorn. Holt's design allows for an ever-changing play of light and shadow upon the surfaces of her work. The four concrete tubes act as viewfinders framing precise images which, in Holt's words, "bring the vast space of the desert back to human scale."

One of only a few women associated with Land art, Holt is a key yet under-recognized figure who has produced ambitious projects all over the world. Holt was also a pioneer of time-based media, and the camera was crucial to her exploration of space, sculptural form, and subjective perspective. Her work—photographs, films, site-specific installations, earthworks, public sculpture, and even personal flashlight and audio tours—transforms our perception of place, space, and time

Focusing our vision and challenging our understanding of an environment, Holt's work draws attention to the complexities of our relationship with the landscape we inhabit and act upon.

Sun Tunnels is a part of the Holt/Smithson Foundation, which furthers the legacies of Robert Smithson and Nancy Holt. UMFA partners with Holt/Smithson Foundation, Dia Art Foundation, and the Center for Land Use Interpretation to further advocate for Sun Tunnels.

ringing in natural, soft light throughout your home is now easier and more affordable than ever. Many houses have bathrooms, hallways, and other rooms where daylight only enters when you open the door. Dim and dark, these rooms are unwelcoming places until you turn on a light.

Not the option of choice for many people. Those days are over. Sun tunnels can dramatically change a room, they’re the fastest way to add natural light and an expansive, open feeling to those dark spaces. They harness sunlight and the impact is stunning. The installation has no structural changes to the house and can typically be completed within 3 hours.
