The Challenge

Set within a luxury Surrey hotel, this Michelin star restaurant needed to enhance their dining experience while responding to the changing mood requirements throughout the day and evening. It was important for the lighting scheme to adapt seamlessly and subtly, without any reliance on manual changes by staff or complex lighting controls.

The Solution

Working with the Interior Designer and Restaurant Operator, we designed the lighting scheme, providing the best possible ambience to support the feeling of luxury alongside the Michelin menu to complete the experience.throughout.

Seamlessly integrated light fixtures

Surface mounted, low energy LED lighting was used throughout the restaurant, contributing to the cosy ambience and supporting the feeling of luxury and intimacy provided by the wooden panelling, low-beamed ceiling and elegant fabrics used throughout.

We seamlessly integrated the light fixtured into the fabric of the building and concealed where possible to ensure the historic architecture and detailing was respected and remained as focal points.

Subtly illuminating the architectural details

Pinspotting to table centre piece is a prominent component to the overall design – it provides a warm white at the point where food is served and displayed.

The lighting is controlled automatically via a timeclock and an easy-to-use scene-setting system with a variety of scenes to suit the different mealtimes and events.

The results are warm and inviting with subtle accents and functional scene controls to elevate the restaurant and provide seamless transitions the hotel required.
