Light at the end of the tunnel.

The light at the end of the tunnel.  This light is warm and inviting. I would like to create areas such as this. I think it feels cocoon-like, but ther is an out, which is also comforting.

Zumthor

There is an simple richness in the minimilistic geometry of Peter Zumthor's bath house.

The lighted water is so warm and inviting. In videos that I have seen, I am enamored by the way light dances and bounces off the walls. 

The reflective pools give the illusion that the room is twice as tall as it is.

Fay Jones

The architecture of Fay Lones has a rythm and resonance that allows the light within to dance and reverberate on its surfaces giving it a life of quiet energy.

I have always been interested in framework. Im not quite sure what it is. In regards to the light specifically, I like the graphic mature of striping that it creates.

Wright Restaurant

I came across this new Upper East Side restaurant in NYC, designed by Andre Kikoski, while looking for pictures of Frank Lloyd Wrights lighting effects . While it does not look like a Wright reproduction, the design hones in on some of Wrights most important beliefs on lighting.

 One being that light should come from a hidden location, as if naturally eminating from the space itself, not a fixture upon it. This effect can be seen in Fallingwater, but Im not sure if that is the first time Wright utilized that effect.

Also, note that the windows direct sun are hidden by the orange filters. It was important to Wright to allow the light from the outside world in, but not to overwhelm.

 The long swooping lines of warm light give off an energy and portray a sense of movement. In all the space seems to have a breathing life of its own, and appears that would be a unique and energizing dining experience.
