"Zolotoy" is a luxury residential complex on Bolotnaya and Sofiyskaya embankments. The club quarter is located in the very center of Moscow opposite the Kremlin. It has the highest level of privacy and unique views of the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, the Moscow River and Zamoskvorechye.
The lighting design solution for the Zolotoy residential complex is a comprehensive approach that harmoniously combines architectural and landscape lighting. Evening lighting emphasizes the uniqueness of the residential complex and its status, its characteristic architectural features and decorative elements, while eliminating parasitic light in the windows, ensuring maximum comfort for residents.
The developed lighting solutions have become a significant element of the residential environment design, not violating the architectural integrity of the object neither by the appearance of lighting equipment nor by the installation elements. The chosen lighting design techniques, color temperature and intensity of light sources fully correspond to the architectural style and create a comfortable lighting environment, meeting not only lighting standards, but also the aesthetic perception of a premium residential complex.
Both on the street side and on the territory of the residential complex, the light tactfully highlights the key elements of architecture, decorative patterns of facades, stone relief, which allows to convey the volume and characteristic features when it’s dark. There is no feeling of oversaturation of light in the courtyard of the complex. This became possible thanks to local accent lighting, precise targeting of lighting devices, optimum level of illumination and brightness, as well as carefully selected optics, excluding light entering the windows. The lighting designers paid attention to functional tasks.
Facade lighting and landscape lighting are in balance, forming a single comfortable lighting environment. Visual comfort and sufficient illumination on the territory are achieved thanks to the built-in paving luminaries of creeping light. In order to avoid monotony of the light environment and to create a more intimate atmosphere, was used decorative light in the project. Outdoor floor lamps create a "homey" cozy atmosphere, filling the space around with soft diffuse warm light. They are placed next to the rest areas, where there are benches, imitating the approach used in the organization of interiors - a soft rest area with armchairs and floor lamps. Reed-like lamps placed on the lawns are also used as a decorative solution.
A DALI lighting control system is provided for the Zolotoy Residential Complex, both for facades and landscape. The ability to control the light allows you to set the most precise desired brightness of the facades, which is especially important for creating a balanced lighting environment in the courtyards.
The lighting project also includes a scenario, for example, after 11:00 p.m. all faсade lighting in the courtyards is dimmed by 50% relative to the selected daily level, allowing for a reduction in electricity consumption and not disturbing residents while they rest.
