Relaxing in the green: the new glass building
incorporates the surrounding park into the living
experience – and offers further dreamy spots for
one of the many reading tables. Mito raggio and
Mito largo create different lighting scenarios thanks
to » color tune « and » up- and downfading «.
“ You enter another world as soon as you drive onto the estate,”
says the owner, explaining his country estate in the Lüneburg
Heath. The park-like grounds of this natural landscape with its old
trees and pond are the epitome of a place of longing. At the centre
of it all stands the manor house dating from the early 20th century,
which has been extended by a modern glass annexe, as well as a
bathhouse and guesthouse. Light and luminaires connect the old
and new buildings, the main building with the outbuildings.
After two years of renovation and refurbishment, the property com
bines not only historical and contemporary design, but also places
of tranquillity and places to come together. You will come across
small reading islands throughout the house that create quiet oases of
retreat – perfect spots to read the books from the extensive library
on the upper floor or the fireplace room library. The Sento lettura,
Gioia lettura and Mito raggio floor luminaires work their magic to
complement their particular space with different light colors and
intensities above a reading chair; they imitate daylight almost to
perfection or provide cosy “ red wine light ”.
Guests can enjoy one of these oases of togetherness – for example,
in the open kitchen with the large kitchen unit. Height-adjustable
Sento sospeso pendant luminaires illuminate the generous kitchen
unit and the dining area with their variable up- and downlight.
Their light can be atmospherically staged without the living areas
disappearing into darkness.
