Our lighting design covers all interior FOH and external areas at this prominent hotel. The large, open ground floor public area is illuminated with backlit panels and largely diffused luminaires which help the seaside hotel feel bright and breezy.
In contrast, the top level sky bar is dark and moody. We restricted sideways lighting in order to protect the view from lighting reflections in the glass.
We worked with Scott Brownrigg and Ted Baker to provide a unique and intriguing lighting design.
