Lighting is one of the most important elements in
bringing life to an architectural project . A lighting project needs to go beyond the trivial and offer
functionality for the residents' daily lives.

Taking advantage of natural light is a desire, but it is not always possible. There are
environments that do not have windows , or apartments that are in a disadvantaged position for sunlight to enter. It was with these difficulties in mind that architect Bia Kestering presented the
Gourmet Opponere project at
CASACOR Balneário Camboriú. Bia Kestering - Gourmet Opponere. Projeto da CASACOR Santa Catarina | Balneário Camboriú 2023. (Fábio Severo/CASACOR)
The project signed by Kestering presents some ways to bring in "natural" light, such as the
tensioned screen that embraces its space , starting from the bathroom.

"The screen has the function of creating a broader light, without the light and shadow effect that
spotlights provide. For this reason, it is often used to generate daytime lighting in spaces that require it, in addition to bringing a scenic and glamorous sensation. To install this screen, you must have an adequate structure and the ideal is to think about this detail from the beginning of a project", advises Kestering. The architect explains that this type of solution serves as a backdrop for
shelves, bars and areas designed to welcome guests .

For intimate areas, it is possible to adopt this technique, which is also effective when used in
closets, dressing tables, as well as on walls and ceilings .

As a suggestion, the architect recommends
directing the lighting to the details to highlight the textures. "This can be done using
five-point spotlights , nano spotlights for details on the walls, floor lamps to highlight some decorations and neon LEDs to frame the carpentry," concludes the architect.
