Entry DescriptionLuzhniki Collection is a signature lighting concept for a premium residential complex in Moscow. Inspired by the visual appearance of amber—warm, luminous, and timeless — the lighting design shapes a distinctive visual identity that highlights the architectural sophistication and elite status of the complex.
Referencing The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny, where all worlds reflect a single true one, the project becomes a luminous centre of the city’s nightscape. Golden light acts as a unifying visual code, merging architecture and illumination into one expressive whole.
The lighting enhances the facades’ depth and materials, creating a dynamic rhythm. Subtle integration within the structure generates an elegant ornamental glow after sunset. A bold amber highlight on the upper floors echoes illumination of Luzhniki Stadium and the Academy of Sciences across the river.
The landscape lighting continues this narrative, layered across three levels: soft amber ground lighting for paths, warm eye-level light for spatial balance, and light canopy accents with a hint of coolness. Luzhniki Collection stands as a luminous landmark — where light becomes architecture.
Sustainability ApproachAll lighting falls within the 2500K–3000K colour temperature range. This spectrum is not only biologically optimal and comfortable for humans but also aligned with natural evening light tones. The result is a healthy, safe, and emotionally resonant lighting environment, one that supports human circadian rhythms.
Company DescriptionKULTURA SVETA is an independent lighting design bureau founded in 2016.
We understand light as the important part of architecture, and work with architects and customers to provide original design service in architectural lighting, lighting masterplanning, urban lighting, landscape lighting and interior lighting.
To do all that you love is a power. That is why we set up our practice and that is why we are working at lighting design. We believe that the environment defines human consciousness so we intend to make cities more comfortable and beautiful.
