Project Location Chengsha, China
Entry DescriptionNestled in the heart of Chengsha, the Maqo Hotel embraces a lighting design that captures the city’s vibrant energy and the hotel’s youthful spirt. Catering to the modern traveler, the lighting scheme aims to create a welcoming and stylish atmosphere that is both edgy and refined.
The project lighting scope includes guest room and corridor, 2 lobby, 1 main ballroom, an exhibition hall, 2 mini ballrooms, 1 multifunction room, 2 private dining rooms, 1 restaurant and spa.
The strategic placement of lighting fixtures enhances the sense of depth and volume, same time complimenting the use of vibrant and bold colors together with the metallic finishes throughout the hotel’s public space. Warm inviting lighting tones blend seamlessly with pops of color, reflecting the hotel’s contemporary and forward-thinking design. Meanwhile, all lighting fixtures are well selected to bring in quality illuminance with low glare.
Sustainability ApproachThis is a complete led light fixture scheme. We have chosen LED because of flexibility in choice of color temperature, running cost and energy consumption. All PA zones are connected to dimming system with the scenes programmable from day to night for energy saving.
