Lighting design creates tranquillity
Collaborating closely with Hayball architects and the broader design team, we developed lighting designs that integrated with the architecture and pools, produced installation and lighting control documents, and oversaw onsite commissioning.
Within the retreat buildings our lighting design created softly illuminated spaces to promote relaxation. Key elements included guiding lights, an illuminated feature wall, and underwater pool lights which reflected moving patterns on the staircase above.
Indirect lighting with minimal downlights creates softly lit spaces and the overall ambient light enhances the warm tones of the interior design and architecture. The lighting design extends to the façade, outdoor pools and grounds, providing essential lighting for guests to safely navigate the property while maintaining the beauty of the landscape and dark night sky experience.
The harsh coastal environment with a high mineral content in the spa pools created a challenge for our lighting team. Integrating lighting within exposed concrete structures required additional coordination and selection of appropriate equipment to withstand the elements. Our team carefully selected and tested various light fixtures to enhance durability and reduce future maintenance requirements.
