A pavilion is historically a structure set apart for relaxation and shelter. We use it metaphorically to describe a home environment curated to protect and insulate the mind from modern overstimulation.

Cool-toned lighting (above 3000K) mimics mid-day sunlight, signaling alertness and stress to the brain. Warm, low-level lighting fosters relaxation and introspection.
