Home / The Edit Projects Vibia lighting illuminates minimalist contemporary residence Design studio Olivegrey completes an elegant two-storey residence in Portugal, featuring a bright open-plan living room with a broad mezzanine and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows. A minimalist architecture of pure forms, the design studio creates warmth through simple lines, soft shapes and smooth textures.On entering the light-flooded central living area of Casa SV, Olivegrey’s preference for natural materials, the exploration of textures, and the predominance of neutral tones is immediately noticeable. Yet, when it comes to lighting the space, the studio embraces a futuristic aesthetic. Fusing technology, space, and architecture, a dynamic arrangement of Sticks by Vibia claims the generous space overhead. Facing the mezzanine and spanning both storeys, a unique two-stick composition connects the top floor to the front wall, suspended at an angle from the ceiling into open space. The Sticks collection consists of sleek aluminium rods that transform linear light into a floating sculpture. Enhancing Casa SV’s minimalist architecture, their clean, graphic form disrupts the surrounding planes to form a new architectural dimension.
