Lighting design for the Four Seasons Hotel Dalian

Dalian’s first international luxury hotel brand, the Four Seasons Hotel Dalian, has opened in the Donggang Business District. The hotel is located in a 46-story building with a planned land area of 13,900 square meters and a total construction area of 127,253 square meters. The hotel occupies floors 5-6 and 23-42 of the 220-meter-tall tower, offering approximately 250 guest rooms and suites.

The lighting design concept for the guest rooms focuses on creating a relaxing yet sophisticated environment through lighting. All main lights in the guest rooms use a consistent 2700K warm color temperature, while linear lights are used under the bed and in cabinets to provide soft ambient lighting, creating a layered lighting effect.

The lighting in the guest room’s walk-in closet is integrated into the cabinet structure, with no exposed light fixtures. This ensures effective lighting while giving the closet a cleaner and more refined appearance.

The guest room bathrooms feature warm lighting, creating layers of light and shadow through elements such as wooden grilles, and allowing for regional control of light intensity, thus enabling guests to feel more relaxed in the bathroom space.

The lighting in the guest room minibar balances the aesthetic appeal of the beverages and tableware with the practical need for illumination when retrieving items. The lights are integrated into the cabinet structure, casting a soft glow.

The lighting in the hotel’s elevator lobbies and corridors maintains the same warm color temperature as the guest rooms, with concealed LED strips and wall sconces used to distinguish the elevator door areas; the corridor lighting uses projection techniques to ensure there are no dark spots.

Lighting design for the food court at Emporium Shopping Mall

From the outset of the design process, we clearly defined the lighting design requirements, addressing both functional and emotional aspects. We precisely matched lighting and color temperature parameters to different areas and designed four operational lighting modes for different times of day (general operation, peak hours, closing time, and security).

The lighting uses accent lighting to reinforce visual focal points, and uses recessed spotlights and LED strips for basic lighting, combined with ambient light to guide pedestrian flow.

Ambient lighting is used in the passageways to ensure basic brightness for movement, while accent lighting is used at shop entrances and in core business areas to create visual focal points and naturally attract foot traffic.

The concept behind this lighting design is that “lighting is not merely a decorative element, but a guide for the space,” fulfilling both the functional requirements of commercial operation and enhancing the overall spatial experience.
