Source text - English D&D London assembled a design team consisting of Conran & Partners (interior design) and Speirs & Major Associates (lighting), to whom they delivered a simple brief: to create a sophisticated, relaxing and intimate restaurant and bar.
Whilst the architecture and views are undoubtedly the greatest assets of the space, they also posed the greatest challenges to the design team.
For Speirs & Major Associates, these challenges were considerable:
The huge area of glazing meant that daylight would have a massive influence on their design, requiring the use of daylight control measures, careful consideration of the colour temperature of the artificial lighting and sophisticated control programming to balance the natural and artificial lighting. It was also recognised that the windows would tend to become mirrors after dark and so the design would have to minimise veiling reflections to maintain the river views.
The voluminous space was the antithesis of intimate and so the lighting design in combination with the interior design would somehow need to create an illusion of intimacy.
Translation - Spanish D & D London reunió a un equipo de diseño compuesto por Conran & Partners (diseño de interiores) y Speirs & Major Associates (iluminación), a los que entregó un breve comunicado: crear un restaurante y bar sofisticado, relajante e íntimo.
Mientras que la arquitectura y vistas, son sin duda, lo mejor del espacio, también plantean los mayores desafíos para el equipo de diseño.
Para Speirs & Major Associates, estos desafíos son considerables:
La enorme area de ventanales significaba que la luz del día tendría una gran influencia en su diseño, requiriendo el uso de medidas de control de la luz del día, cuidosa consideración de la temperatura del color de la iluminación artificial y un sofisticada programación de control para equilibrar la iluminación natural con la artificial. Se sabe también que las ventanas, por la noche tenderán a convertirse en espejos por lo que el diseño tendría que minimizar los reflejos para mantener las vistas al río.
El voluminoso espacio era la antítesis de íntimo, por lo tanto el diseño de iluminación en combinación con el diseño de interiores necesitaría crear de alguna manera la ilusión de intimidad.
