The lighting design for this Vila da M\u00f4nica thematic park evokes the feeling of a walk through the neighborhood at dusk, capturing the poetic moment when daylight fades and artificial light begins to bring warmth, comfort, and imagination to the scene. The concept transforms the park into a living cartoon village — a place that feels both familiar and magical — where light helps to guide emotion and narrative.The project main goal is to immerse visitors in the fantasy of the Turma da M\u00f4nica universe while maintaining visual comfort and realism. The design uses a palette of soft white tone to recreate a calm and cozy atmosphere inviting visitors for a walk in the village.The lighting is integrated into the fa\u00e7ades and streets, reinforcing the impression of a living neighborhood. Custom 4000K LED spotlights with honeycomb louvres installed on height adjustable 2,5m poles, strategically located on the house’s roofs, provide a soft glow for fa\u00e7ades across the street and selfies locations. The goal was avoiding perforating the ceiling – originally intended to receive a realistic sky painting. Surface mount uplights installed above the roof, highlight suspended cartoon characters. All systems are DALI controlled, allowing gradual scene changes throughout the day. The lighting ensures comfort, avoiding glare and excessive brightness that could overwhelm visitors.Small 2700K wall sconces along fa\u00e7ades suggest domestic life and intimacy, while lit niches and coves highlight textures, cornices, and playful details on the buildings. A key element in the composition is the glow emanating from inside the windows of each house. This interior lighting softly filters through curtains and acrylic panels, suggesting that the houses are inhabited, enriching the narrative and emotional depth of the scene. These luminous interiors add layers of perception — creating a rhythm between interior warmth and exterior calm, while animating the streetscape with gentle contrast.The central blue tree, made of hundreds of a stuffed rabbit called Sans\u00e3o (M\u00f4nica’s inseparable toy), decorates the stage where the Turma da M\u00f4nica characters run presentations, and works as a visual and emotional anchor. Its cool, luminous tones contrast with the surrounding warmth, functioning as a meeting point and symbol of fantasy within the composition. M\u00f4nica’s house sits right in front of it, highlighted by a series of soft linear LED lights on its cornice, balcony, and window together with a few spotlights announcing its hierarchy among others.\u00a0Each fa\u00e7ade is treated individually to preserve identity and legibility within the ensemble. Lighting along eaves and balconies accentuates volume, while the spotlights bring life to shapes and colors. The 2700K street lamps, inspired by the Sans\u00e3o silhouette, provide diffused, welcoming light, reinforcing the sense of community and continuity.The project employs LED systems with fixed color temperatures between 2700K and 4000K, ensuring chromatic coherence and visual comfort. Beam angles are precisely directed to minimize glare and spill light, enhancing the overall perception of depth.The park is both LEED Platinum and WELL certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
