The walls in the concrete bungalow on Lake Starnberg are high,
the architecture spacious and open. The light in this spacious
living area creates multifunctional islands, whether you need to
relax or work. It’s also the unifying element in the room design.
Even from the outside, this new interpretation of a bungalow on the
sought-after hillside plot, within walking distance of the lake, shines
brightly: the facade positively glows when the cube of exposed
concrete and aluminium reflects the sunlight. The interior reveals
a spacious living area with high concrete walls. The living spaces
are arranged here around the atrium in the centre of the building.
Cooking and eating, relaxing and just being, all in one wide space –
the atmospheric individually adjustable light from Occhio starts by
delineating each living space in the upper floor. Round shapes are a
feature of the series, a common thread running through the rooms.
Mito soffitto ceiling luminaires light your way in the hallway in a playful
arrangement; Mito aura becomes a work of art on the wall and the
Mito sfera mirror luminaire sets the stage for a reading corner.
The round shapes of the Mito series are in contrast
to the architecture’s corners and edges. The Mito
sfera corda mirror luminaire is both a piece of fur-
niture and an atmospheric companion: it draws a
soft island of light above the reading chair, creating
another peaceful retreat.
Light means space
