Built on the headland, the new scheme will not alter the relationships between the sea, the landscape and the vegetation. The 21 villas are radially distributed, discretely integrated between the rocks and the maquis. Very small fixtures mark the walkways and the presence of vegetation using limited illumination values. Projector lamps have been installed on the intrados of the terraces that jut out over the sea, illuminating the water surface, rocks and seabed and giving the complex a place in the nightscape of the sea coast.

This section brings together a representative selection of lighting design projects in the architectural, museum, urban, cultural, retail, hospitality, and infrastructure sectors, both in Italy and abroad. The gallery documents projects of varying scale, function, and context, all sharing an approach to light as a tool for interpreting space, capable of engaging with architecture, artworks, landscape, and contemporary use.
The projects presented range from museums, foundations, and temporary exhibitions to historic buildings, places of worship, public spaces, and urban complexes, including corporate headquarters, private residences, yachts, and lighting masterplans. In each project, light is designed as a controlled material, calibrated to the characteristics of the location, its functional needs, and the perceptual quality of the experience.
Taken together, the collected works convey a vision of lighting design as an integrated process, in which technical rigor, cultural sensitivity, and attention to context contribute to the construction of spatial identity, orientation, and value. The gallery thus takes the form of a design map, capable of demonstrating how light can take on different roles—discrete or declared—while always maintaining coherence, measure, and design awareness.
