Sewri-Sobha, Mumbai

THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING STRATEGY FOR SEWRI, A HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL TOWER BY SOBHA BUILDERS, IS METICULOUSLY DEVELOPED TO COMPLEMENT THE BUILDING’S MINIMAL AND GEOMETRIC ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE. COMMISSIONED WITH THE INTENT TO CREATE A STRIKING YET REFINED NIGHTTIME IDENTITY, THE DESIGN EXPLORES A SERIES OF LINEAR LIGHTING ITERATIONS, AIMING FOR FULL INTEGRATION WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL ENVELOPE.

WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE FAÇADE DESIGN TEAM, A SYSTEM OF STAGGERED, DIFFUSED LINEAR PROFILES WAS CONCEIVED—SUBTLY EMBEDDED INTO ARCHITECTURAL PROVISIONS ACROSS VARIOUS LEVELS OF THE TOWER. THESE HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIXTURES OFFER A SEAMLESS APPEARANCE BY DAY, WHILE DELIVERING DYNAMIC LIGHTING TEMPERATURES BY NIGHT TO ANIMATE THE STRUCTURE WITH A CALM, SHIFTING VISUAL RHYTHM.

THE RESULTING SCHEME ACCENTUATES THE VERTICAL GEOMETRY AND TIERED MASSING OF THE SKYSCRAPER WITHOUT OVERPOWERING THE ARCHITECTURE. THIS MINIMAL YET EXPRESSIVE APPROACH ENSURES THAT SEWRI STANDS AS A SOPHISTICATED LANDMARK, HARMONIZING LIGHT AND FORM THROUGH A RESTRAINED AND PRECISELY EXECUTED FACADE LIGHTING SOLUTION.
