068 PROJECT / HUTONG SHARD, LONDON, UK Also at The Shard....
HUTONG
Into was briefed to provide a theatrical and dynamic lighting scheme for this fine dining panoramic restaurant on Level 33 of The Shard. The project comprises two bar areas, two restaurant areas, circulation spaces and private dining areas. The lighting was to evolve throughout the day and night to enhance the function of each space whilst keeping glare and reflections in the perime- ter glass to a minimum.
The lighting design was to enhance the be- spoke materials and finishes of the interior and illuminate bespoke joinery items and feature walls throughout the space. All elements of the lighting scheme needed to be carefully controlled to ensure a dramatic and intimate feel to the venue was main- tained whilst providing flexibility to change the ambience depending on the functions within each of the spaces.
The reception area is located at the top of the stairs in the triple height atrium space. To the right is the Beijing side of the res- taurant and to the left the Shanghai side. The first main element within each of the spaces is the bar which is clad in stone and wood. These are dramatically illuminated with very narrow pools of light on the bar top and shafts of light across the wooden back bar in the Beijing bar and across the feature ceiling in the Shanghai bar. Con- cealed warm white LED profiles illuminate
the glass displays whilst also providing working light for the staff. To meet the theatrical lighting brief and provide the main accent lighting within the open ceiling areas of the restaurants, Into specified very low glare adjustable spotlights on a suspended track system. The fittings are focused onto tables and key sur- faces avoiding unnecessary lighting of floor space whilst allowing flexibility if the table layout were to be altered. Into specified low voltage halogen reflector IRC lamps chosen for their high colour rendering prop- erties to light food. In areas with ceilings low glare adjustable halogen downlights were specified with deep set lamps baffled from view. All lighting was specified in black to help camouflage them against the black ceiling.
There are two key feature walls within the space, the first being the tea wall on the Beijing side which is illuminated with concealed LED Linear fittings within the shelving and shafts of light illuminating the tea tiles. The feature wall within the Shanghai side comprises a series of bespoke Chinese lanterns mounted floor to ceiling, the effect is also accentuated as the ceiling is mirrored giving the effect of twice as many fittings.
The private dining rooms are illuminated with the track system focusing all spotlights
onto tables and key surfaces. Bespoke Chi- nese lanterns manufactured to the client’s specification are suspended either side of the doors and above the tables to help create intimacy and privacy. Into has achieved a very theatrical low glare lighting scheme that provides minimal reflections in the glass perimeter meaning diners can enjoy the breathtaking views across London. The lighting design retains the element of theatre even at lunchtime when the restaurant is flooded with natural light through the perimeter glazing.
