Entry DescriptionThe lighting design of the Homa House is a study on minimal lighting techniques and the impact lighting can have on space utilizing a small number of lighting sources in a context that conveys a low tech feeling.
Embracing the unique juxtaposition of the villa’s modern architecture against the backdrop of Serifos’s industrial heritage, the lighting concept seamlessly blends contemporary aesthetics with a homage to the island’s unearthing atmosphere. Warm, ambient lighting illuminates the outdoor spaces, casting a gentle glow that highlights the surrounding landscape while paying tribute to the historical significance of the nearby mining sites. Thoughtfully placed fixtures mimic the play of light on mineral-rich surfaces, creating a visual narrative that ties the villa to the island’s unique character. In the interior spaces of the villa, the lighting design takes cues from the mining heritage with a balance of functionality and artistic expression. Task lighting accentuates architectural features, while subtle ambient glows evoke the ambient warmth of the white polished concrete.
