Sculpting with Light in Luxury Interiors

The soft curve of the staircase void frames a cluster of hanging lights from Flos. This view from below transforms the stairwell into a sculptural composition, where architecture and lighting design are fully integrated.

Looking down into the void of the sculptural staircase, the form appears like a ribbon of light. The design is not just about moving between floors, but about creating a powerful visual and spatial experience.

Our design process for the skylights at DUA Villa began with simple sketches. We explored various forms and sections to understand how they would channel daylight and create the ethereal play of light we envisioned for the interiors.

An isometric drawing illustrates how the sculptural roof elements of the DUA Villa are positioned to introduce natural light into specific interior spaces. This strategic placement is key to the home's lighting design.

Another view of the skylight at the House of Galleries, showing the interplay between the curved opening and the angular wooden structure. The contrast between these forms creates a dynamic architectural detail.

In the House of Galleries, long curvilinear skylights allow slivers of light to wash over the lime-washed walls. The charred timber rafters create a rhythmic pattern of light and shadow, adding depth and character to the space.

The dance of light and shadow from the skylights and timber rafters. This image captures the atmospheric quality we strive for, where the building itself becomes a canvas for the changing light of the day.
