The Zown

 

Illuminating Nature: A Sustainable Lighting Approach for The Zown by Siddhraj Group

The Zown by Siddhraj Group is one of the largest and most unique weekend home developments in Gujarat, spanning 140 acres with 395 villas. Designed by Vipul Patel Architects (VPA), the project redefines luxury living by seamlessly blending architecture with nature. Surrounded by a river and enriched with numerous water bodies within the premises, The Zown creates a serene, immersive environment that prioritizes sustainability, minimalism, and environmental harmony.

The lighting design, led by Light & Beyond LLP, embraces a philosophy of subtlety, efficiency, and ecological sensitivity. A key approach is camouflaging light sources within the architecture and landscape, ensuring minimal visibility while creating a warm, inviting ambiance. The project is also designed to be light pollution-free, protecting the natural ecosystem and local wildlife. Extensive research on the native bird and reptile species has guided the lighting strategy to prevent any disruption to their habitat.

Durability and ease of maintenance are central to the design, with maintenance-free fixtures carefully selected for long-term functionality. Sustainability is a core principle, with 95% recyclable fixtures and a circular economy approach that promotes material reuse and minimal waste.

As one of Gujarat’s most distinctive projects, The Zown combines energy-efficient technologies, low-glare lighting, and a warm color palette to enhance its organic charm. With a strong background in master planning for private islands and luxury retreats worldwide, Light & Beyond LLP has curated a lighting experience that is both luxurious and environmentally responsible –  setting new standards for sustainable architectural lighting.
