Private Palace

LOCATION: LAHORE, PAKISTAN
USE: RESIDENTIAL
SCOPE: INTERNAL, EXTERNAL, FAÇADE & LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN

The lighting design scheme was developed as a series of scenes, a sequence of interconnected moments linked by a common storyline.

The architectural lighting was seamlessly integrated into the architecture, revealing textures and drawing the attention to details and shapes, creating focal points without competing with the main decorative elements. This integration was vital to achieve unique effects and distinctive settings.

The façade lighting focused on the main volumetric components of the building. Columns, arches and cornices were emphasized, creating a dramatic contrast and enhancing the scale of the palace. The edges of the roofs were subtly delineated, outlining the masses of the architecture and positioning the palace in the night time.

The landscape lighting was based on a hierarchy system, emphasizing specific areas of interest with the majestic backdrop of the palace. Poles, bollards, up-lights, decorative luminaires and underwater lighting elements created a sophisticated visual environment for outdoor living, as well as a setting to be admired from the interior of the palace.
