Basel, Switzerland
Our work for the Radisson Blu Hotel in Basel involved the refurbishment of the hotel reception area and Filini Restaurant.
Working closely with Iliard interior design and Chandler KBS project management, we developed a fully LED lighting scheme for Radisson Blu Basel, replacing existing lighting and introducing new integrated lighting details in the reception area. Designs included LED linear solutions integrated into new timber panelling to the wall behind reception desks and in the illuminated wall between the Filini Restaurant and reception. We worked with the interior designers to develop an existing decorative cove detail throughout reception into an effective lighting detail which provides the soft, warm, ambient lighting in the space for evening scenes. The daytime scene uses new diffuse downlights that are slightly cooler than the ambient lighting to blend better with daylight.
There is now a new family of custom decorative fittings in the lounge and reception area, creating greater intimacy by reducing the apparent ceiling height in these areas.
In the restaurant, new decorative fittings were introduced and LED integrated within the new bar design which wraps around a stair core.
The new lighting was integrated as far as possible with the existing, dated lighting control system. The opportunity was taken to upgrade wiring throughout the restaurant to allow for future change to a full DALI system. In reception, all the new lighting was installed updating elements of the controls to DALI.
The arrival experience at the hotel has been transformed, which has been well received by hotel staff and Radisson Hotels brand management.
