Essential Install | Crestron Sponsored Section
Crestron technology
helped this award-
winning project
create a special
atmosphere for diners
mirror those of a beach hut, and solid reclaimed wood
tables, which emulate the appearance of driftwood.
The space offers an altogether exemplary atmosphere
and user experience, cementing in some really special
memories of a very unique place that is perfectly aligned
with its surroundings. A team from acclaimed Crestron
integrator, Morelight, welcomed the exciting challenge
of designing and installing an innovative lighting control
solution that provides the perfect accompaniment to the
inventive and contemporary design plan.
Ben van de Bunt, creative director, at Morelight
commented: “We were absolutely delighted to be asked
to help with this innovative project and knew that by using
Crestron products alongside our creative lighting design
we would be able to achieve a brilliant combination of
creativity and technology.”
They skilfully utilised the natural light available within
the space and seamlessly complemented it with an
inspiringly creative lighting scheme. Thanks to Crestron’s
DINAP3 processor, efficient control of all track, pendant,
LED strip and wall lights, are managed, with a number of
scenes pre-programmed into the system. The ‘tunable’
luminaires are thus controlled to imitate the changing
tones and colours of the sunset, and the system also
cleverly embraces the natural light occurring outside
within the restaurant interior. In doing this, the experience
of dining in this stunning restaurant evokes a feeling of
being effortlessly in tune with its coastal surroundings.
Dimmable pendant lights suspend impressively from
the ceiling, which can be adjusted to accompany the rest
of the lighting scheme along with the wall lighting.
All the lighting features are perfectly placed, with
each luminaire having a specific use in lighting a
selected space. A large, perfectly lit, painting hangs
from an interior wall, an instant eye-catcher as you
enter the space.
All in all, a total of 64 fixtures were installed into the space
and, thanks to Crestron technology, each can be perfectly
regulated to achieve any atmosphere and suit every
occasion, and with only one touch of the pre-determined
settings. To suit the interior style of the restaurant, Morelight
has installed the space-saving TSW752 touch screen,
featuring a clean, contemporary appearance with edge-to-
edge glass and advanced high-definition Smart Graphics™.
On completion of the lighting installation the
restaurant owner commented: “We could not be more
thrilled with the lighting features that Morelight installed
within the restaurant. They perfectly complement the
design and really complete the space.” She continued:
“The Crestron control panels are so incredibly easy to use
and the ability to manipulate the light in order to mirror
the sunset really is a very special addition”
This project is a wonderful example of a successful
fusion of creative design and Crestron technology
within a commercial environment and pushing the user
experience to the maximum.
