“Not life, but raspberries…”: lighting concept for the residential complex “MALINA” in Bishkek

“Not life, but raspberries…” - very soon, residents of the Kyrgyz capital will be able to enjoy living in the apartments of the new “MALINA” residential complex, the architectural lighting concept for which was worked on by the best architects and lighting engineers of Svet Expert, complementing the image of joyful, happy, “berry” life.

Every modern person dreams of living in harmony with nature. Today, the construction of residential complexes in the eco-style is a trend that is actively supported on the market. Icon Development, a construction company based in Bishkek, is the leading developer in Kyrgyzstan, specializing in modern, beautiful residential buildings that provide European comfort and the most current trends in building construction. The MALINA residential complex is the first business-class project in Bishkek, the idea of architectural solutions for which is maximum comfort and inseparable unity with the picturesque nature of Bishkek. In the daytime, you can admire the snow-capped peaks of the mountains from this place, and in the evening – the picturesque sunsets of the bright crimson sun. The facade of the residential complex is designed in such a way that it creates a feeling of complete harmony and consonance with the local landscape: complex modern geometry, the use of German clinker tiles in noble shades, thoughtful architectural solutions, and eco-friendly materials – all this distinguishes the complex, makes it unique and innovative. Of course, we could not leave such beauty invisible as darkness falls. Therefore, the team of the best Svet Expert light specialists made special efforts to decorate the beautiful building with light and emphasize its idea and unique style.

“Icon Development chose us as the author of the concept for lighting the facades of the MALINA residential complex and the subsequent developer of project documentation. It is a great pleasure for us to work in partnership with the professionals of the Icon Development team, who specialize in innovative construction of multi-storey buildings - says the general director of Svet Expert. - Icon specialists are the first in the Kyrgyz construction market to use advanced European-quality technologies in each section and direction of the project. And of course, the architectural and artistic illumination of the MALINA complex should complement and decorate the object, become the final “icing on the cake” of such a grandiose development in Bishkek.”

"As always, we tried not to overload the facades, but only to emphasize the individual protruding elements and clinker masonry of the upper tiers of the complex with accent light, "says a specialist from the project department of Svet Expert. "The end parts and walls of the building will be illuminated with linear luminaires using a narrow-angle lens. The project protrusions will allow the light source to open up, and aiming and alignment will direct the light flux strictly to the illuminated surface, without giving parasite illumination of residential windows. The devices used with low power consumption will allow light to smoothly flow down the facade and descend downwards with a soft gradient, and the play of color temperature creates the effect of a chaotic ‘flicker’ from cold static to warm golden burning wax candle.

Particular attention was paid to the stylobate part of the high-rise building. Diffused light is selected in such a way that it performs not only a decorative artistic function, but also acts as a utilitarian lighting of the pedestrian zone of the complex, providing the required illumination of the house territory.

We strove to recreate the image of a harmonious and unobtrusive, delicately illuminated MALINA residential complex, in harmony and consonant with the whisper of a million stars of the night sky of Bishkek.
