Sculpted Luminaires for a Luxury Residence | Mexico
A bespoke commission for a landmark private estate in Mexico, where raw solid marble was transformed by master artisans into geometric Jali lanterns that cast an enchanting, ambient glow over outdoor coastal living space.
Where Master Stonemasonry Meets Architectural Lighting
Commissioned by visionary architects for an exclusive private estate in Mexico, this project called for a singular design requirement: one-of-a-kind outdoor lighting that seamlessly bridges ancient stone craft with contemporary architectural luxury.
Rather than working with assembled panels, our master stonemasons began each piece from monolithic, hand-selected blocks of solid natural marble.
Monolithic Extraction:
Each block was carefully hollowed out from the center, stripping away excess weight while maintaining structural integrity to create seamless, hollow stone cylinders.
Hand-Carved Jali Motifs:
Using fine chisels and specialized hand tools, our team of seasoned stone artisans painstaking carved out every single openwork aperture.

A Radiant Outdoor Experience
Once delivered to the residence, these custom-carved marble Jali cylinders were installed as sculptural outdoor beacons along the estate's entryways and terraces. By day, they stand as regal, minimalist stone monuments; by night, internal illumination filters through the intricate stone fretwork, casting dramatic shadows and creating a warm, opulent ambiance.
