Lighting Design Intentions

·        Logical path choreographed with lighting
o   Lobby/entry:
§  Disperse in fan-like pattern that leads user to various features of the space. (i.e. elevator, reception desk, seating, etc.)
o   Restaurant:
§  Long, vertical rows of lighting to follow flow of movement through the space
o   Guest room:
§  Surrounding perimeter lighting because there is not direct passageway in bedroom area
§  Lighting leading down hallway to bathroom
o   Corridor:
§  Lighting vertically through the space to help guide user down corridor
·        Lighting creates hierarchy of attracting attention
o   Lobby/entry:
§  Lighting element above reception desk is the brightest in order to help user navigate easily
§  Accent lighting above elevator to guide user through space
§  More lighting in the entry of restaurant from the lobby to help promote interest in dining in the restaurant instead of rushing up to their rooms
o   Restaurant:
§  Lighting placed above kitchen prep area to focus user’s attention on cooking activities
§  Vertical fire element in wall focuses user’s attention towards back of space (kitchen area—to entertain guests)
o   Guest room:
§  Task lighting above bed helps user interactively use and manipulate the space
§  Dimmable lighting around perimeter of room can create a hierarchy of interaction within the bedroom space
§  Bathroom:
·        Dimmable lighting in shower can create a hierarchy of interaction within the bathroom space
·        Task lighting surrounding mirror
o   Corridor:

§  Brighter lights above each guest room door to help navigate people throughout the space
