Underwater lighting for private outdoor pool at Kolkata Residence.
lighting design intent
The ideology to light up the peripheral walls of the pool was to create a rhythmic sense of pattern giving a dramatic effect to the pool which in turn compliments the black granite marble used as a material for the same. The linear lights used to define the horizontal surface gives a glowing edge effect enhancing the cool blue color of water. A warm lighting is provided in the backdrop to balance the cool and calm behavior of light in the foreground which altogether blends and helps to retain the social characteristic of the place. To execute the design intent, best possible solution was to design using linear lights to do away with conventional spot lighting thus enhancing the aesthetics of the pool both from interior and exterior surfaces.
