WC BEAUTIQUE HOTEL
Lisbon, Portugal
PROJECT
Nini Andrade Silva
LIGHT PLANNING
Light 2 Life, Lighting Design
The WC Beautique Hotel in Lisbon comes from the creative
mind of the acclaimed Portuguese interior designer Nini
Andrade Silva. Light2Life, the Portuguese team behind the
lighting design, has succeeded in showing the whole building
in its best light, enhancing the concept and the colour palette.
The enchanting use of lighting, with its transparencies and
reflections, and backlit surfaces, creates a truly breathtaking
effect. The fixtures used in the hall, corridors and restaurant
are Quad 6.1 ceiling recessed downlights, 6W, 500mA, 3000K
white light, with 56° adjustable recessed optics.
Their design for the facade involves vertical beams of
light, parallel to the hotel’s neon signage, and projected
upwards, and for this the team has employed Kleo 2.0
outdoor projectors in an anthracite finish. These beams are
mirrored on the building’s ground floor by others directed
downwards, produced by Kocca 1.1 wall-mounted fixtures in
anthracite. Their pared-down design means they are perfectly
camouflaged in the architecture.
The horizontal underscores are created using River Wall
1.2 surface-mounted linear profiles. The external lighting is
completed with Lira 1.0 step lights, with asymmetrical optics,
and the low-power recessed fixtures Bright 1.0 and Bright 1.1 .
