Completion Date September 2020
Project Location Grapevine, TX
Entry DescriptionThe hotel is part of the Grapevine Main train station development. We provided lighting design services for the lobby, bar, restaurant, lounge, private dining, meeting rooms & guest rooms. We encountered challenges with the budget, lighting control & system changes. The project meets & exceeds the 2006 IECC. Warm wood tones, dark metal panels & brick reminiscent of the historic district are accented to create an inviting backdrop for guests. Millwork lighting is introduced at focal features in the hotel reception, bar, private dining, & wine display cases to allow the details to shine. Recessed adjustable 2700°K accent lighting is used for artwork, focal tables & accessories throughout. Decorative fixtures, with carefully coordinated 2400°K LED sources, provide warm general illumination. A dimming system is utilized in every public space as well as in adjacent banquet areas. Astronomical time-clock settings & fade times are instrumental in transitioning from day to night. To keep the project in budget, extensive value-engineering studies were explored. Review of lighting fixture samples was crucial to this project as we wanted to maintain a high level of visual comfort for guests.
