Author's illumination Port City: how the popular apartment complex will look like at night
PORT CITY: CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DNIPRO EMBANKMENT
The idea of the complex is to complete the architectural ensemble of the pedestrian part of the embankment in the place where the Dnipro turns to the south.
In Port City will open a park area with greenery on the banks of the river for walks for citizens and guests of the city. At the end of the pedestrian part, in place of the former sites, 3 sections of various storeys with open balconies, terraces and loggias have already been completely cast.
EFFECT OF WATER MOVING ON THE FACADE - AUTHOR'S ILLUMINATION FROM EXPOLIGHT
Located on the banks of the Dnipro, Port City emphasizes the integrity of the pedestrian embankment opposite the Monastyrsky Island. Therefore, the main idea in the illumination of the complex will be to create an individual image of the building with the effect of water movement along it. To implement the idea, the effect of caustic light waves will be created on the facade itself and the area around the complex.
«These light waves are very similar to the glowing lines at the bottom of a pond. We will create this light effect using craft glass elements with a specific uneven surface. These glass lenses are completely handcrafted by Expolight glass blowers. The main illumination of the facade will be performed by flooding neutral white light with the ability to adjust both static and dynamic light modes. We have developed several variants of dynamic programs, similar to flowing luminous waves»
— Expolight company comments on the lighting project.
It should be noted that the illumination of the parapet of buildings will differ from all facades. It will be executed in blue-turquoise shades with dynamic programs, creating an associative connection with water or a river. The advantage is that the development of the lighting concept took place at the stage of the architectural design of the complex. This allowed the specialists to integrate the equipment in a timely manner and make it as inconspicuous and tactful as possible.
The uniqueness and high quality of Port City is the work of a large team of specialists, because the developer Alef Estate creates not just buildings, but a whole environment for a comfortable life. «MOST-city», Cascade Plaza, Ekaterinoslavsky Boulevard, Atlant statue and Yuzhnaya street, business centers «Prizma», «Bosphor», «Enigma» and many other objects have been an integral part of the life of every citizen for many years!
