Zhejiang Private Residence

Light as a Living Language

When the owners of a newly built home in Zhejiang envisioned their ideal living environment, they imagined light that shifted as gracefully as their daily rhythms. To turn that idea into reality, Vlinca Lighting Solutions partnered with lighting designer Judy and chose Casambi’s wireless control platform as the technological heart of the scheme. The result is a residence where illumination is never static— it narrates mood, marks time and elevates each space with effortless elegance.

Design Intent: Beyond Brightness

Judy’s creative brief was clear: every room should “feel” different at various hours, yet remain visually coherent throughout the house. Natural materials, muted finishes and sculptural furnishings called for a lighting strategy that could:

• highlight architectural details without harsh contrasts,
• offer instant shifts from intimate warmth to invigorating brightness, and
• remain future‑proof for evolving family routines.

Traditional hard‑wired control grids would have limited flexibility and cluttered the minimalist interior with extra cabling and wall plates. A wireless, scene‑based solution was essential.

The Casambi Solution

With more than 150 Casambi‑enabled nodes embedded in luminaires from Vibia and Fagerhult, the team shaped a digital lighting canvas that is as refined as the décor itself.

• Dynamic scenes – “Evening Lounge,” “Morning Energise,” and “Art Highlight” presets can be recalled from smartphones, tablets or discreet wall‑mounted Casambi Xpress switches.
• Animated sequences – Gradual fades mimic dawn and dusk, gently guiding occupants through circadian‑friendly transitions.
• Time‑based scheduling – Weekday routines differ from weekend modes, all handled automatically in the Casambi App.
• Adaptive dimming – Ambient levels adjust to incoming daylight, maintaining visual comfort while conserving energy.

Because the network is fully wireless and self‑healing, installers eliminated significant conduit runs, reducing installation time and materials while preserving the clean architectural lines.

Experience & Emotion

Each zone now tells its own visual story:

• Foyer – A soft, rising glow welcomes residents, introducing a calm cadence upon entry.
• Open‑plan living/dining – Tunable white downlights shift from warm amber during family dinners to crisp neutral tones for morning coffee.
• Study – Task lighting accentuates the desk while wall washers spotlight a curated book collection, supporting both focus and inspiration.
• Master suite – Low‑level, motion‑sensed night lights provide safe passage without disturbing sleep cycles.

Every adjustment is instantaneous, silent and wire‑free, reinforcing the sense that light is a natural extension of the home rather than an added utility.

Sustainability with Style

Casambi’s programmable timers and energy‑aware algorithms ensure that luminaires run only when and where they are needed. Early monitoring indicates a double‑digit reduction in electricity consumption compared with a conventional dimmer‑plus‑switch system—proof that innovative control can align ecological responsibility with uncompromised comfort.

A Blueprint for Modern Living

This Zhejiang residence demonstrates how thoughtful design and advanced technology can converge to craft a truly human‑centric environment. By treating light as a living language: one that speaks emotion, rhythm and beauty – Vlinca Lighting Solutions, Judy and Casambi have delivered more than illumination; they have created an ever‑evolving experience of home.
