B Light’s luminaires for a mini loft in Hong Kong | B Light

B Light’s luminaires lit up a new private project, the architect Nelson Chow Chi-wai’s mini loft, in the forested hillside in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Functionality meets design making the apartment full of personality; “Big is not necessarily better”, as the architect affirms: a thoughtful design is transformative even for the smallest of spaces.

The housing unit, with its colour selection and lighting solutions, takes inspiration from natural light and the densely forested hillside that characterize the area. The apartment consists essentially of a living area, kitchen and bathroom. The sleeping space, an intimate bunk bed in pinewood, is reached by a wood ladder, which plays on the idea of a tree house.

B LIGHT’s idea of illumination is thought to blend seamlessly into the project, emphasizing the harmony among the spaces, giving a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. The minimalism of KUBO, a family of devices both for ceiling and wall with a compact and neat design, was chosen for the living area in two variations: Kubo 54 UP e Kubo 54 CL. Inserto medium 65 CL, with an even light distribution across the entire surface, was chosen by the architect for the dining room. Linear form, pure light, modularity, dimmability and high lighting potentialities are the main features of these surface mounted luminaire, useful and practical for highlighting an architectural space.

A combination of design, discretion and high performance. For the mini loft of Chow Chi-wai B Light has been able to realize a project that perfectly reflects the architect's desire. Light not only translates love for clean lines and minimal design, but also exalts in a flexible way the continuity of indoor and outdoor environments.
