Mexico City Residence

Mexico

This elegant home in Mexico City demonstrates two creative applications of Color Kinetics’ intelligent LED lighting – both lending customizable ambience to the space with the push of a button.

In place of more conventional artworks, a light- and color-infused kaleidoscope spans one wall of the home’s living room, reaching 13 feet (4 m) high and nearly 20 feet (6 m) wide. Approximately 240 iColor® Cove LT units were installed within metal, triangular frames with frosted lenses for diffusion. The result is a stunning blend of color, light and motion that transforms the space with any of eight customized light shows. The contemporary dining room features glass panels recessed into the floor and illuminated by 36 concealed iColor Cove LT units. The panels form a color-changing frame around the central table, easily adding flair to any occasion. A series of eight light shows was programmed to allow the homeowner to instantly change the room’s mood – from romantic, subdued hues to more festive shades and color-changing effects.

All lighting effects were programmed with Color Kinetics’ ColorPlay® authoring software and controlled by iPlayer® 2 with a Controller Keypad interface in each room.

This modern home exemplifies light as art – a new medium for residential interior design.
