Completed in 2025, the Buckingham Building project was realised for a builder-client known to Elevage through previous collaborations on a number of projects. Drawing on the client’s initial design vision, Elevage developed and supplied a comprehensive lighting package that balances technical performance with sculptural character.
Throughout the home, lighting is integrated into the architecture rather than applied as a separate layer. Plaster-in linear profiles are recessed into ceilings and walls, creating uninterrupted lines of illumination that emphasise proportions while maintaining a pared-back aesthetic.
Custom lighting solutions were developed to respond to specific architectural conditions and interior moments, allowing fixtures to feel embedded within the renovation rather than selected from a catalogue. Decorative pieces from OLEA introduce softer focal points, adding warmth and texture to key living spaces while complementing the home’s restrained material palette.
Linear lighting systems, including eLEDtric Profile and eLEDtric Tape, are used to wash surfaces with an even glow and define transitions between spaces. The approach allows light to shape the experience of the home subtly, highlighting textures and architectural details without drawing attention to the source itself.
The result is a layered lighting scheme that shifts throughout the day, supporting both functional requirements and the more intimate qualities of residential living. By combining concealed illumination with carefully selected decorative elements, the project demonstrates how lighting can contribute to the identity of a home while remaining quietly integrated within its architecture.
