Dwelling by Valerie Theodora

House Lighting - The lighting of a house is crusial to give the perfect ambience and support the user's activities. In this client's house, the goal is to achieve a soothing ambience to give a relaxing atmosphere for the user to relax in. Because of the client's love with nature, the designer chose to give sufficient natural lighting to further enhance the client's comfortness inside the house.

Foyer - A pendant lught at the center of the room is used as a focal point, resembling the sun. While cove lighting is used to give a warm and calming ambience.

Pantry - The pantry as a workspace area needs optimal lighting to support the user's activities while also avoiding accidents and discomfort to the eyes. The general lighting used is aroung 250-300 lux, with a color temperature that tends to be in the colder area (4000-5000K) because it's easier to see details, suitable for work areas. A small garden is present beside the pantry to provide natural lighting and minimizing bacteria growth. A task lighting is also present above the critical workzone, sink and hob area to further give the user optimal comfort while doing kitchen activities.

Bedroom - The house is positioned heading east, with the use of a garden in the back of the house it provides natural lighting to enter especially in the bedroom area in the morning. With this comodity, the user can be awakened by the ray of sunshine in the morning, boosting their motivation to start the day.
