More light sources and well distributed

We have booked the most important for last: the lighting. Although natural light is the best ally of decoration, artificial also helps us to enlarge the spaces.

The indirect artificial light, pointing toward the ceiling, we help to gain altitude in the rooms. While the light that illuminates the ground produces shadows on the walls and corners.
