For a boutique hotel in Amsterdam, we were engaged to re-examine existing spatial elements to heighten the atmospheric qualities of the lobby, reception and bar. As an additional challenge, we were tasked with providing design solutions that could be delivered with minimal impact to the construction and high impact through light.
Utilizing aiming, focusing, minimal additional fittings and optical accessories, we wanted to introduce intimacy in a theatrical setting through optimized programming to create a memorable experience for the hotel’s guests.
Mockups on-site demonstrated practical upgrades for our client that brought cost-effective improvements to the hotel bar and lounge areas.
Future-proof contingencies were made through our bespoke lighting guidelines that will aid our client to achieve consistent spatial qualities and flexibility.
