The importance of light in Marbella by ARK Architects 

Reading time: < 1

Architecture makes sense thanks to our most valuable material: The light.

We, as architects, create forms which are materialized when light has an impact on them. Otherwise, architecture does simply not exist.

The key for our projects to be successful is to understand that every single place has a unique light.

In locations like Marbella where light is very strong we experiment with high contrasts. This creates a continuous movement of opposite elements: light and shadow.

Spaces also exist when the sun goes down so it is crucial to manipulate the artificial light.

While lamps have different colour temperatures, each material reflects light in a specific way. These are tools to make our homes warm and cozy, supporting us in creating impressive atmospheres as we do with daylight.
