about the project
Lumiere is a striking example of how contemporary architecture can engage with classical motifs while remaining thoroughly modern. Inspired by the elegance of Art Deco, the project blends grand proportions, refined detailing, and harmony with its natural surroundings.The façades are clad in light stone, lending the complex a sense of permanence and prestige. Yet Lumiere does not rely solely on traditional aesthetics — fine Art Deco lines run through the composition, infusing it with a dynamic, contemporary character. Sculptural figures adorning the building’s central axes are more than ornament; they serve as intentional accents that add depth and rhythm to the façade.One of the project’s defining features is its use of light. During the day, sunlight accentuates the geometry of the façades; by night, architectural lighting reveals new facets of the structure, creating an atmosphere of refined seclusion. The Art Deco influence is evident not only in form but also in detail — wrought-iron balcony railings, graphic entryways, and sculpted reliefs all contribute to a cohesive visual language.Despite its monumental presence, Lumiere does not overwhelm the urban landscape. On the contrary, it integrates gracefully into its context. This is architecture that balances ambition with sensitivity — a thoughtful blend of contextual respect and meticulous design.
