Private Residence, Berkshire |
|
This private residence provided an excellent scope to explore new lighting techniques with the added complication of designing lighting for an existing listed structure. Careful consideration was taken to minimise disruption to the fabric of the existing building and to conceal as many light sources from view. The residence also benefited from reclaimed and renovated roof structures within the main living spaces, which provided a perfect opportunity for expressing the structural qualities of the exposed ceiling. A simple light fitting was developed to sit within restricted spaces within the roof lines. These were concealed from view to up light and down light the exposed pitch beamed ceiling to the main living space and leisure areas. The minimal use of lighting equipment and careful integration into the interior as well as an architectural lighting control system has made a success of this project. Minimal
touches of colour in the pool area provide contrast to the extensive
red birch details, which are also clearly visible from the exterior.
The exterior is sympathetically lit with low level lighting and architecturally
sympathetic wall lights that blend and compliment the architecture. |
