for the community
located at katameya heights,
enlighten light design
intended to transform
this family residence
in a three-dimensional canvas
that portrays a modern sanctuary.
immersed in a lush landscape,
the two-storey building unfolds slowly,
revealing a neutral structure
surrounded by a botanical masterpiece
worthy of a midsummer night dream.
the light project wants to shape the architecture,
backlighting the filigree stone and
animating it with the use of the bacchetta magica led.
going up towards the villa, the path winds its way
starting from the entrance, which acts as an interlude
to introduce guests to an experience of grandeur
with the use of the lanterna massima
to illuminate the scene.
to get an environment
of absolute tranquility,
the garden is illuminated by a collection
of strategically placed small luminaires.
the p2 and p1 spotlights lit the green,
giving the game of light and shadow
a dramatic accent
in contrast to the classical architecture of the villa.
the path towards the garden at the back
is supervised by two symmetrical rows of palm trees
to a private sitting area, by the pool.
the use of the bacchetta magica
has allowed to create a sense of linearity,
uniform light walls highlight
the various types of trees
and their different textures,
enhancing their drama.
the light is designed to draw
the profiles of the palm trees,
the m444 spotlights stand out against
the organic shapes on the night sky
for an evocative view
of a magical, unparalleled environment.
in the courtyard, arches of the colour of the earth
are illuminated in a subtle way to give depth,
and play perfectly
with the unpredictability of the surrounding trees.
the campanula was used
for the terraces on the upper floor
to highlight the scale
and frame the volume like a theatre.
the garden is well kept to allow everyone
to enjoy the lush greenery
and immerse yourself in lights and wonders.
