The Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh is an established
property that has undergone a major refurbishment which includes re-presenting
the main Entrance Lobby and Tea Lounge. The main Lobby is a large space
with dramatic and powerful vistas. The importance of water in the region
has been recognised with the inclusion of a large vertical water feature
and sculpture, carefully lit from below with light integrated into the
structure and from higher level with concealed projectors on the opposite
side of the space.
The structure at high level is exposed with appropriately position light
sources grazing light across the complex surfaces. At low level vertical
slatted screens have been introduced to break up the space using wood
as a friendly material, these are dramatic and with light placed between
each fin at low level their form is further expressed and enjoyed.
Features in the space are highlighted with light and the dramatic art
installation behind the reception desk is illuminated to expose its
3 dimensional qualities and forms. This has a floating line to the top
and adjustable wall washes providing direct light onto the feature.
The reception desk sits in front with again light floating it under
the counter and at skirting level.
