Production Technology
The hotel uses energy saving LED lights with high color rendering index to clearly display elements with their proper color. The lights are dimmable with 3000K color temperature warm white in public areas while 2700K in guestrooms to make guests comfortable and even virtually detaching the unique, distinctive and iconic canopy bed frame from the wall and the ceiling.
Design Challenge
The lighting considered local cultural elements inside the hotel. The lobby features both by a pendant inspired by the Osmanthus (local flower traditionally planted in front of homes to welcome guests) and heron light sculptures inspired by birds found at the Jinsha lake. Behind the front desk, waves of the Qiantang river are revealed via hidden LED lights. A back lit floor number reminds guests they are on guestroom floors. In guestrooms, the iconic canopy bed frame virtually detaches itself from the wall and ceiling through hidden lights.
Project Duration
The lighting design part of the project started in May, 2017 in Hangzhou, China and the completion time in November 2019.
Operation Flow
As this is a hotel, its operation remains in the hand of the property management of the client.
Research
Site administration was an important step in the realization of the entire project. The lighting fixtures recommended to the customer included detailed information such as beam angles, wattage and color temperature, installation details...
Inspiration
Inspiration comes from the local Hangzhou culture where the hotel is located. The lobby features both by a pendant inspired by the Osmanthus (local flower traditionally planted in front of homes to welcome guests) and heron light sculptures inspired by birds found at the adjacent Jinsha lake. Behind the front desk, waves of the Qiantang river are revealed via hidden LED lights; other decorative wall panels of the hotel feature aquatic plants and marsh birds, immersing guests in the nature of Hangzhou.
