The luxurious The Well spa and hotel is located just a few minutes
from the centre of Oslo. At 10,500 m2, it is Scandinavia’s largest
spa and bathing centre, with 11 indoor and outdoor pools, 15 saunas
and steam rooms, over 100 showers, waterfalls, a Japanese bath
house, a Turkish hammam, rhassoul treatments and numerous
relaxation rooms. The Well also offers fine dining, and guests can
enjoy traditional and fusion cuisine interspersed with moments
of relaxation in a complex entirely dedicated to their physical and
psychological wellbeing.
The largest resort in the Nordic region is nestled in the heart of a
peaceful pine forest. The rooms are decorated in a Norwegian
style with meticulous attention to every detail. While each one is
different, they all face onto the forest, creating a connection with
the vegetation. The proximity to this vast coniferous forest, which
changes with the seasons almost like a living work of art, was an
important consideration in the entire process of building the hotel
and offering the wellbeing that comes from a total immersion in
nature. Influenced by spa traditions and culture from all over the
world, the resort provides a tranquil space that nurtures your mind,
body and soul.
In the wooded area, 30 life-size sculptures have been scattered
strategically along a lighted pathway. The trail, which is about 300
metres long, was given emphasis with a design by SML Lighting
and the choice of Linear 2.1 outdoor bollards, 8.5W 3000K, with
an asymmetrical light output, a custom height of 1000 mm and
anthracite finish in a customized DALI version, which demarcate
and illuminate the sinuously curved path.
To light the statues, Ginko 2.0 projectors, 7W 24Vdc 3000K,
were installed with 34° and 45° optics, honeycomb louvres and
asymmetrical snoots. Two different installation methods were
used for the fixtures: mounted on the ground with stakes or fixed
to tree trunks with fastener straps, in order to obtain two different
lighting effects. Ginko projectors were specifically designed to light
plants, trees and features in gardens and parks, and they offer great
versatility and a variety of light outputs, while their body is made
of low-copper-content aluminium alloy for excellent resistance to
corrosion.
