Project Location Itacaré, Bahia - Brazil
Entry DescriptionAs the evening falls, a beam of light emerges from lush nature, hinting at the presence of a house in Itacaré, southern coast of Bahia state. Reflecting an impeccable integration between light, architecture, and nature, the technical lighting project is visually harmonious and reveals itself in each space.
As visitors enter the house, they are welcomed by a vast central garden. The lighting in this space was carefully designed with sources of light coming from the floor, preserving the purity and aesthetic character of the fair-faced concrete dropped ceiling with no visual interruptions.
In the living area, one of the most used spaces of the house, the lighting in the reflection pools was planned to smoothly and strategically stand out, to prevent accidents with the water. In the indoor environments, sources of dimmable light allow different scenarios to be created, from intimate dinners to lively parties.
The leisure area is a true haven. Designed to provide comfort and relaxation, the lighting protects the user from looking directly into the light, creating a sense of warmth.
In the bedrooms, light is smoothly distributed, focused on functionality and wellbeing. The use of light to shape and organize the spaces is aligned with the precision of the architectural feature, making each environment a unique sensory experience.
