Hotel Bristol
This hotel was recently renovated, a project that preserved the
traditional identity of the structure opened almost a hundred years
ago, in 1929, by Thon Hotels, one of Norway’s largest hotel chains.
The lighting design devised by SML Lighting involved the exteriors of
the two buildings at the intersection of Kristian IV‘s and Rosenkrantz’
gate, using light to highlight the first floors of both facades, one
historical and the other decidedly more modern. The lighting effect
obtained in this way creates a sort of visual continuum that leads the
eye of passers-by down a long urban perspective.
For the rose-coloured building, with its large four-part windows
and period lanterns fixed to the wall on the ground floor, Trevi linear
profiles with 20°x50° elliptical optics were chosen in lengths of 1208
mm and 1803 mm. These are fixed to the belt course and arranged
between the windows on the first floor.
For the facade of the other building, a total of 26 Lyss Mini 1.0
projectors, mounted on the belt course separating the ground and
first floors, emit a semicircular light that emphasises the concrete
ribs forming this building’s distinctive grid structure. The projectors’
thermally conductive technopolymer body guarantees excellent
resistance to corrosion and temperatures as low as - 20°, making
the fixture the ideal choice for Scandinavian latitudes.
