Entry DescriptionProgress cannot be stopped. We are all going into new technologies. We are all taking advantage of new opportunities. However, in pursuit of new trends, we often forget the base - the foundation created by many generations before us.
We stopped feeling the needs of the body. It is easier for us to take a pill than to understand the cause of the disease. More and more we are moving away from the needs of the body, and light plays an important role in this.
Our grandmothers knew the peculiarities of light, without any textbooks. They felt what was good for them and what was bad. They were able to interact with light. They lived in harmony with it.
Is it possible to create this interaction again in the modern world? The Villa Torino project combines the foundation laid down over the centuries and new technologies of interaction with light.
We used tunable white color in the project, which allows the family to customize life inside the house, in harmony with life outside the walls.
The location of the villa itself becomes an inspiration, taking into account its close interaction with nature. Nature itself becomes a guide to the feeling of harmony of light. There is no better teacher than natural lighting.
This villa has become the embodiment of the idea of human interaction with the beauty of light design, thoughtful solutions, and ease of being.
Sustainability ApproachA variation of lighting scenarios allows for customizing the atmosphere and the needs of a particular moment. Each family member becomes the director of his own light reality, building a scenario, depending on the age and needs of the body.
In addition, we created a special effect. The owners can lead the guests' attention, with the help of light. With the help of warm amber light, resembling a campfire and a candle flame, guests follow the prepared route, without additional guidance. It happens naturally. The guest immediately gets into the atmosphere of comfort and warmth.
The energy efficiency of the project is one of the main requirements of the modern world. We used high-quality LED technologies, as well as the ability to adjust scenarios. I.e. we turn on exactly as much light as is needed at the moment. We can minimize the amount of light, comfortable for the body.
