lucearchitettura
(Lorella Marconi, Cinzia Todeschini)
Magari Estates is a modern boutique hotel that nestles among the
vineyards on the Val D’Illasi hills in the province of Verona. This
inviting complex is the product of a careful restoration of a 16th-
century hunting lodge that has preserved all the farmhouse’s original
charm, with its stone walls and exposed wooden beams on the
ceilings. These features have been enhanced by the lighting design
developed by Lucearchitettura in Verona, in the guise of lighting
designers Cinzia Todeschini and Lorella Marconi.
Ginko 2.0 and 3.0 projectors with elliptical optics, fixed to the roof’s
load-bearing beams, are directed downwards to light the walls of
the internal courtyard with a wall-grazing effect that highlights the
rough surface of the stonework. Meanwhile, Ella OUT wall-mounted
fixtures are mounted on the facades facing the vineyards and the
swimming pool. Ella OUT 2.0 fixtures light the restaurant’s external
porch and mark the entrance to the Spa by the pool, while smaller
Ella OUT 1.0 fixtures illuminate the first-floor terraces overlooking
the vineyards. All the fixtures were chosen in a cor-ten finish to
harmonise with the simple colour palette of their surroundings: the
pale beige walls and dark brown exposed beams of the pergola and
the roof structure.
