In the lobby, the guest gets a first impression of the hotel. Along with perceiving the area and getting one's bearings, the atmosphere here plays a vital role. The space is divided into reception, lounge, bar area and traffic zones. Wallwashers produce a uniform light distribution on the walls. Directional luminaires emphasise such key functional zones as reception, lifts, bar, tables or even architectural elements such as columns.
A differentiated lighting concept ensures an optimal light atmosphere in each zone: eyecatchers for a first impression of the area using grazing light on the columns and light projections on the wall, brilliance and modelling for the lounge section, and good workplace lighting for the reception.
Lighting the walls helps show the guest the dimension and structure of the area and facilitates orientation.
Complementing the wall lighting with accent lighting additionally produces "focal glow". This approach highlights such key functions as reception, lifts or tables. The grazing light on the columns adds to the structuring of the room.
Decorative lighting effects with projected patterns create an interesting atmosphere as a "play of brilliants". The "play of brilliants" is rounded off by coloured lighting of the bar using changing light colours.
