The Lighting Design was called to meet a number of requirements both architectural and landscape, as well as high operational standards. The distinctive architecture, with exposed concrete and local materials led the team to an approach of fully integrating architectural lighting into specific details. The design process, in which the entire design team participated, ‘gave birth’ to a lighting effect that was precise and unobtrusive in its presence but dynamic in its feel, as was also the intention of the client and the team.

The lighting of the public spaces enhances the mood of the ‘open’ landscape, as they are directly linked to the surrounding area and one space borrows light from the other. The bedrooms maintain an aesthetic hierarchy that helps the smooth use of the spaces and highlights the high-end finishes. In close collaboration with the Interior Architects decorative lighting was positioned in such a way that does not compete with the architectural lighting.
