This 3,000 square foot leisure area, in the basement of a 10,000 square feetLondon home, has been custom-designed by lighting interior designer BenRousseaufor a client who is an enthusiast of urban and contemporary art. Thehomeowner ironically calls it his ‘batcave’ and uses the space to relax, partyand play games.An underground car port is a central feature. Designed to look like aprotective force field, a set of laser beams encircles a prized Aston MartinDB4, which rather than being shut away in a garage is intended to beadmired by visitors just as the many artworks are cleverlyshowcased by thelighting design. The lounge features a colour-changing INSA bubble chair and amatching coffered ceiling with the same striking graphic illuminated by twolevels of colour-changing LEDS around each step, whilst the cocktail bar inpearlised and silver flecked Tadelac has strips of warm white LED lighting tomake the most of the multi-faceted angles of the counter.In the games room is a bespoke American black walnut pool table withilluminated detail below the pockets and around the exterior edge.The dramatically lit snug has mirrored surfaces on the back wall and insidefront wall to create infinity reflections and an ‘Iris’ light in red LED byRousseau Design makes an interesting focal point.
