Entry DescriptionThis luxury boutique hotel lighting design exemplifies our experiential approach to hospitality illumination, created in collaboration with renowned interior designers David Collins Studio. The project demonstrates our philosophy that lighting should revolutionise the customer journey through warm ambient glows that transform spaces into inviting environments.
The lighting scheme employs our signature luminous layering technique to create depth and visual interest across diverse hospitality spaces. Sophisticated accent lighting highlights architectural details and luxury finishes throughout the property, while carefully concealed sources maintain the refined aesthetic essential to high-end hospitality design.
The design integrates seamlessly with the property's luxury positioning, using precision-engineered fixtures that provide both functional illumination and atmospheric enhancement. Our approach ensures that lighting serves not merely as a functional tool but as an integral part of the guest experience, creating memorable moments through thoughtful illumination of key spaces and transitional thresholds.
Dynamic control capabilities allow the lighting to adapt to different hospitality functions throughout the day, supporting everything from energetic daytime activities to intimate evening experiences.
Sustainability ApproachEnergy-efficient LED technology with intelligent control systems reduces consumption by 40% compared to conventional luxury hospitality lighting. Timeless design aesthetic ensures long-term relevance, reducing replacement cycles and supporting circular economy principles. Integration with natural light sources minimises artificial lighting dependency during daytime operations. High-quality, long-life fixtures eliminate frequent maintenance and replacement needs.
Company DescriptionAt One to One, our missiono is for you to experience more, with light.
Founded by Creative Director Martin Döller, One to One is an award winning experiential lighting brand dedicated to the emotional and physiological power of light. Our approach is grounded in biophilic design — the innate human need to connect with nature — and inspired by the way natural light influences mood, energy, and well-being. We translate that connection into built environments by simulating the principles of natural light: its softness, rhythm, glow, and shadows.
