Southport Hotel
The 12-story Hyatt Regency Hotel is the anchor of a mixed-use development that draws visitors to experience iconic Lake Washington. The hotel is built in a former industrial area that provides a unique perspective for guests.
The lighting is designed to enhance views of the lake from inside and views of the hotel from the lake at night.
The hotel reception area is rich and inviting with lighting highlighting warm wood finishes and task areas.
The grand stair invites guests in and provides a backdrop for weddings and social events.
The indoor swimming pool is illuminated to provide light levels that meet health department requirements while reducing glare and highlighting architectural finishes and features.
The detail outside the pool area shows portal windows and grazing linear lighting, highlighting the warm wood finish and cooler pool area.
The lobby bar integrates ceiling coves into the front bar counter. A palette of rich materials is highlighted to encourage activity.
The lobby seating areas include decorative fixtures placed to create intimacy and defined areas of repose, with wallwash grazing at the feature wood wall.
To enhance the view of the hotel from the lake at night, the lighting designers proposed architectural lighting on the north façade.
This image shows the façade lighting at dusk with architectural vertical elements and the copper roof highlighted.
