Concept: design a relaxing environment in a private house in London, using the on space layout to support the needs of the client with maximum ability to host and play.

Challenge: Creating an environment which generates the illusion of natural light while keeping the reflecting ceiling plan, as “clean” as possible. Using furniture and lights as a tool to design and support the challenge, This means using minimum fixtures that are small and uniform. Since the ceilings height vary in different parts of the house, it was our agenda to balance the invisibility of the light fixtures with the needs of the structure.

Solution: The heart of the House is a central open space that admits natural light into the public spaces surrounding it. The lighting was designed in a way that the skylight and big illuminated walls create the supplementary light for daylight even when it is dark. To maintain a clean line we chose fixtures which have the same light intensity and color, making sure they all have a similar look. Various lighting solutions were fitted for the different functions in the building. Using natural wood materials with fabrics that can contrast the clean look, and give a warm environment for cold London.
