the lakeside retreat

Commissioned to develop a lighting scheme for a forest retreat, Lux Populi was challenged to activate a large site whilst utilizing minimal lighting in the exterior.  Interior life glows from within.  The success of the scheme is represented in the way this summer-house has become a year-round retreat for the owner, the warm feel of the interior, and its soft engagement with the landscape around mediating the climate elegantly.
Lux Populi acted as a consultant to principal designers and builders Gluck+ (formerly Peter Gluck and Partners), with an integrated design process that was smooth, efficient and led to elegant results.

Concealed within the forest, light art elements emerge on trails, ethereal discoveries by light artist Matthew Schreiber.
