Dominating the skyline is the iconic St. Michael&#8217;s Tower, designed in a blend of Gothic and Baroque architecture that, together with the historic gateway providing access to Bratislava&#8217;s Old Town, marks the transition between the old and new parts of the city. Bratislava, Slovakia&#8217;s lively capital and largest city, emanates a dynamic cosmopolitan atmosphere combining its rich historical heritage with cutting-edge innovations. It is also recognised as a prime destination for conferences, business conventions, and internationally acclaimed sporting and cultural events.
And it is precisely in this city, so open to new trends, that the NIDO housing complex was born: 115 residential units in the shape of garden pavilions were built in what used to be sports fields, surrounded by plenty of greenery and equipped with a children&#8217;s playground. The housing complex features several tall, slender towers of different heights, with wooden louvres on the window frames and glazed connectors, highlighting their verticality. It exudes a sense of openness and tranquillity, amplified by the abundant natural surroundings, which help establish a genuinely inviting atmosphere on a human scale. The entire area is reserved exclusively for residents&#8217; use.
Due to its outstanding excellence and innovative design, the complex, completed in 2018, received the prestigious BIG SEE Architecture Award 2020 in the Residential Buildings category, granted by an international jury comprising twelve industry professionals.
One of the main tasks involved the design of a new lighting installation, which was entrusted to Disano, a company recognised internationally for its exceptional lighting solutions, particularly in the field of street lighting. The installation featured the Ischia luminaire in the MIDNIGHT version. The components of Disano&#8216;s lighting fixtures embody cutting-edge technology for optimal performance: the LED light source, mounted at the top, enables precise light emission without dispersion, adhering to the latest standards for minimising light pollution. This ensures utmost consideration for nocturnal flora and fauna. It also testifies the Italian company&#8217;s commitment towards a greener economy.
Furthermore, the MIDNIGHT luminaire comes with the &#8216;virtual midnight&#8217; feature included, enabling users to schedule a decrease in luminous intensity when full power is unnecessary, particularly during late-night hours when pedestrian activity is significantly lower. This option, however, doesn&#8217;t compromise safety levels in any way; rather, it simply helps to further minimise waste. The result is truly remarkable.
The seamless integration with residential areas, green spaces, and roadways is facilitated by the design of Ischia, a lamppost characterised by sleek lines and a subtle presence.
Disano&#8216;s lighting design aligns perfectly with the exclusivity of the NIDO housing complex, thanks to Ischia luminaires that effortlessly deliver the performance expected from cutting-edge lighting systems while harmonising with the surrounding urban and natural environment.
