The Dorothea Hotel is one of the key milestones in the BE LIGHT! story. As a high-end hotel investment, it represents the pinnacle of lighting technology in the industry. This was only further enhanced by the location itself, the complexity of the building complex, the monument protection aspects, and the fact that after the Pannonhalmi Basilica, the Hilton Budapest and several other projects, we had the opportunity to work with an international team of designers this time as well. The architectural and interior design concept is credited to Lissoni and Partners, led by Piero Lissoni, with Rodrigo Tellez Acosta, Tania Zaneboni and Mattia Susani as the lead designers for the project.
The overall general designer of the historic building was TSPC. The BE LIGHT! team played a role as lighting consultants in the investment, developing the lighting concept based on the architects’ vision, selecting products suitable for each space and purpose, conducting sizing checks, and creating visual plans. A lighting control system was implemented throughout the public areas of the hotel, and after the design phase mentioned earlier and the delivery of the equipment, our task was to fully program the system and set up the lighting scenes. Ádám Kis, Tamás Metzger, Bertalan Berecz, Szabolcs Gigor, and Sándor Katona from the BE LIGHT! team participated in the project.
