Villa Raggi
Within the prestigious Villa Raggi resort, a historic chapel has been transformed into a refined reception area. The project required a careful balance between respecting the original architecture and the need to create a welcoming and functional atmosphere for guests.
The main objective was to maintain the historical integrity of the space, while enhancing its architectural and spiritual importance.
Light was to play a key role, enhancing the historical details and creating a warm and inviting environment to welcome guests to the resort.
We opted for a subtle but effective architectural lighting system, which allowed us to enhance the unique features of the chapel, such as the original frescoes and marble insignia.
Using a mix of direct and indirect light, we created a soft lighting effect that accompanies visitors without altering the sacred atmosphere of the place.
The main challenges included respecting the delicate surfaces and integrating new technologies without compromising the historical aesthetics. Together with the incorporation of architectural lighting, we supported the client in the choice of decorative lighting so that it would integrate with the lighting scheme.
For the office area of the reception, we opted for the use of decorative ambient lighting and through the use of picture lights ensured accent lighting to the pictures.
The result is a space that combines tradition and modernity, in which light plays the key role of celebrating the architectural space and at the same time providing an elegant and relaxing atmosphere suitable for both reception and event areas.
The new reception area is now a focal point of the resort, welcoming guests in an elegant and serene ambience, perfectly in line with the spirit of the Villa.
