The project combines architectural, decorative and landscape lighting into a cohesive system that extends from arrival spaces to guest amenities and outdoor environments. Within reception areas and foyers, track lighting and wall-washing solutions establish a welcoming first impression, balancing visual comfort with a level of illumination suited to a busy hospitality setting.
Elsewhere, carefully positioned accent lighting draws attention to curated artworks throughout the hotel. Periscope luminaires were selected to create focused highlights that allow the pieces to become part of the guest journey, adding moments of discovery and visual interest throughout the interior.
The lighting scheme continues beyond the building envelope into the landscaped surrounds, where bollards and in-ground fittings help define circulation paths and outdoor gathering areas. Elevage also supplied lighting for one of the hotel’s bars, the boardroom and every guest bathroom, ensuring a consistent design language across both public and private spaces.
Rather than relying on a single visual gesture, the project layers light according to function and atmosphere. This approach creates a hotel environment that feels equally considered whether guests are arriving, attending meetings, socialising or retreating to their rooms.
