Project Location Dnipro, Ukraine
Entry DescriptionIn our work on the lighting of the landscaping, our main task was to use lighting tools to emphasize and enhance the proximity of the complex to nature, as well as to create a cozy and secluded space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
To achieve this, we designed custom lighting fixtures under our own brand to create the effect of natural shadows, similar to those cast by trees. Each project is approached individually: we carefully design and create unique fixtures tailored to specific requirements. We adjust the height, manufacture special shadow filters, add light sources, and craft appropriate housings. Importantly, our production is based in Ukraine, and we even manufactured diodes in Ukraine, supporting local manufacturers who continued to work even during the war.
To avoid installing supports on the ground, we mounted these fixtures on the building’s facade, equipped with specialized optics, and directed them from the side to create a unified light pattern across the entire area. We integrated lighting into fences, benches, bar counters, and mushroom-shaped lanterns, which adds atmosphere and harmony to the whole space.
