We recently completed an Architectural lighting project for the newly developed and spectacular 5 Star Crystal Towers Hotel. Situated on a prime canal fronting site at Century City,Cape Town, Crystal Towers is a high-tech marvel.
Bulkhead and recessed lighting were utilized to create an innovative ambience. From the embedded LED lights in the welcoming red carpet leading to the reception,to the washrooms with cylindrical, frosted glass showers with LED mood-enhancing lighting, this positive energy and feeling of wellness further extends itself through to the mood-enhancing lighting in the bedrooms . The energy saving benefits of LED lighting make it a natural choice for hotels.Switching to efficient lighting can help reduce energy consumption and overall operating costs,whilst providing an opportunity to demonstrate tangible environmental responsibility to hotel guests.
Various lighting applications are utilized in the hotel,including:
- Elevator lighting
- Paving lighting
- Glass facade lighting
- Pool deck lighting
- Shower cubicle lighting
- Passageway bulkhead lighting
- Lift lobby lighting
- Restaurant detailing, including under counter and facade lighting
- Bar lighting
- Glass box lighting
- Kitchen under cabinet lighting
