Text description provided by the architects. Light moves through the interior like an arc drawn in air— fleeting, yet leaving a trace. Between each point of arrival, it reveals focus, rhythm, and order.

The entrance opens into a double-height volume, where a luminous ceiling pours downward, setting the cadence of the space from the first step. A material palette of stone, timber veneer, and metal interweaves, balancing cool restraint with gentle warmth. Across mirrored planes, light refracts and reflects, extending the architecture between the tangible and the ethereal.

Concealed doors enable quiet transformation: opened, they let light and sightlines flow without interruption; closed, they draw calm, precise boundaries. A softly arched ceiling organizes circulation, guiding a gentle passage that links distinct zones with natural continuity— allowing the space to breathe even as it holds structure.

Traces of Light is a study in equilibrium— a dialogue between space and motion, where everyday routines inscribe their own trajectories and leave a measured, luminous imprint.
