The project is the result of a creative process in which architecture and design worked together to make a global renovation of this 14th-century deconsecrated church converted into an open space villa, by restoring the old building, developing optimal balance between lighting efficiency and energy cost-effectiveness, using LED technology driven by a smart lighting control system.
The interior intervention was designed with the primary goal of keeping the open space and not to divide it into small rooms, (like the Italian law says when you purchase an ancient church); in order to keep clean visual feeling of brightness of the environment.
Rada Markovic lighting design studio created a lighting solution to optimize visibility and interaction between living and sleeping areas: architectural lighting and light art from the perspective of an inspirational symbiosis.
The vertical illuminance defines and articulates spaces. It makes an essential contribution to the feeling
of brightness of the environment and supports the visual tasks on vertical surfaces.
The selection of compatible and existing interior ceiling and wall supports was considered in order to support the minimal lighting design system, that’s almost invisible; (using the custom version of LED strips as the key element as well for the ).
The meaning of light...
Improving our relationship with the sun could help both our personal well-being and society overall.
