Entry DescriptionThe meticulous lighting design in this São Paulo condo melds with architectural and interior elements, enhancing material finishes for an evolving art collection.
In the living areas, the concrete ceiling is lit by concealed wall lighting, generating a warm glow.
A flexible spotlight and track system accentuates art on the walls, creating focal points. The fixtures' polished aluminum finish mirrors the concrete ceiling, aiding in a unified visual aesthetic.
The office area boasts lighting within marble shelves around the desk, complemented by direct lighting from above, ensuring a well-lit workspace. This balances aesthetic appeal with functional illumination.
Adjacent to the office is the family room, where indirect lighting in ceiling coves fosters a serene atmosphere, conducive to relaxation and quality family time.
In the private gallery area devoid of natural light, a large backlit ceiling provides uniform, shadowless lighting over the art exhibit, ensuring clear viewing. This lighting solution compensates for the lack of natural light, offering optimal illumination for art appreciation.
Attention to detail, creativity, and simple lighting solutions, this project enriches the architectural narrative, accentuates the interior material palette, and provides respectful illumination to the architecture, crafting a balanced and aesthetically pleasing visual experience.
Sustainability ApproachThe lighting scheme in this project emphasizes sustainability through the inclusion of high-efficiency, low-energy lighting solutions, selecting fixtures that provide significant illumination while minimizing energy consumption, thereby lessening the project's energy footprint.
By autonomously modulating lighting levels through pre-programmed scenes, the design guarantees energy is deployed solely based on the task at hand and the ambiance desired.
All specified lighting fixtures are sourced from manufacturers dedicated to sustainable practices, ensuring an environmentally friendly production process and adherence to socially ethical standards.
