This development is located adjacent to the world heritage site of Dubrovnik’s medieval city. Because of the sensitive historic nature of the surroundings, the external lighting had to respect its location whilst still providing impact and drama. We selected various elements of the façade and used small touches of light in architectural sympathetic rhythm to illuminate the buildings. At ground level where the human interaction occurs, lighting of an appropriate scale has also been added to create theatre around the terrace and entrances.

The various interior spaces are illuminated in a sympathetic manner to the design whilst highlighting appropriate components throughout the public areas. An important part of this project was to ensure that the development was not just another international hotel that could be anywhere but something that reflected the building and Dubrovnik. As with all our hotel projects, the interior lighting utilises a control system that adapts the lighting scenes according to the time of day and use.
