The lakeside bunker-like moodiness realized through a topography of place & partition was a key objective in lighting this holiday home in Lake Rotoiti.

The main light source was to be invisible but deliver pockets of light within the structure, as subtly as can be, maintaining the richness and warmth of the timber that lines almost every surface within the home.

Delicate decorative additions in the form of an organic opal glass wall light 'Gregg' by Foscarini in the bathroom, and Graypants 'Wick', a contemporary alternative to a candle, whose lightness and ease of movement makes it the ideal for dusk transitions, were small but not insignificant, final touches.

iGuzzini Laser Blade was recessed throughout the ceilings of the home, offering low glare high output illumination, necessary light but critically, didn't spill into the atmosphere beyond.
