Penthouse M.

Family Light

Place: Dortmund

Category: Private Residences

A modern two storey penthouse for a young family. Wallwashing, accent lighting with high contrasts in brightness and a light object form the framework for the staircase to the sleeping area. The center of a modern apartment is the dining area. Horizontal, glare-free light enables carefree hours with friends or concentrated meals with the offspring. The high proportion of red in the lighting solution reinforces the warm tones of the large dining table made of cherry wood, creating a homely atmosphere. The kitchen expands into an open living and dining area and forms a color contrast to the warm-toned dining table. The work areas in the kitchen are illuminated vertically from above without shadows, thus ensuring precise work.

The large lounge sofa characterizes the living area. The homogeneous lighting of the sofa by spotlights with sculptural lenses creates fatigue-free and glare-free reading and relaxation. The high glare control of the luminaires with low vertical light components ensures a view of the city's skyline at night. The gallery is the retreat for relaxing hours with a good book. The lighting accentuates the colour-intensive sofa and bathes the room in a warm red with the reflected light. A wide variety of light scenes can be called up throughout the apartment using the remote control. These vary in brightness, contrast and the interplay between horizontal and vertical lighting.
