Entry Description

The lighting design for the resort hotel on Flores Island draws inspiration from the intricate patterns of the traditional Lingko fields, weaving the rich cultural heritage of the Manggarai people into a luxurious, immersive experience. The journey to the sea villas is transformed into an enchanting pathway with bespoke lighting solutions that subtly guide guests while celebrating the architecture and natural beauty of the island. Columns are thoughtfully illuminated, casting soft, ambient light that accentuates their form and the surrounding textures, while linear indirect lighting runs along the roofline, creating a mesmerizing floating effect that adds a touch of ethereal elegance to the structure.

This lighting approach not only enhances the architectural language but also creates a sense of serenity and connection to the cultural landscape. The design seamlessly blends modern luxury with the island's traditional aesthetic, offering guests a unique and memorable experience that honors both the natural environment and the Manggarai cultural legacy.
