About Euphoria Retreat 스파 조명 디자인

유포리아 리트리트(Euphoria Retreat)는 그리스 미스트라스에 위치한 스파를 위해 제작된 조명 디자인이다. 이 스파는 산기슭을 파고들어 조성된 3,000제곱미터 규모의 4층 건물이다. 각 공간의 조명은 고유한 요소로 다루어져, 점진적이며 차분한 감각의 여정을 뒷받침한다. 자연광은 공간마다 크게 달라지기 때문에, 주광 조건을 모방하도록 맞춤형 조명기구를 설계했다. 이 맞춤형 조명기구는 공간 간의 전환을 조화롭게 이어주며 몰입감 있는 건축을 한층 돋보이게 한다.

Unique Properties: The Spa at the Euphoria Retreat, is located in Mystras. It is a four-storey building, of 3.000 m2, that is carved into the base of a mountain. The lighting for each space was considered as a unique piece, contributing to the crescendo of the ultimate relaxation experience. As daylight would vary substantially from one space to another, custom luminaires were designed to imitate daylight conditions, thus harmonizing the transitions through spaces and enhancing the immersive architecture.

Production Technology: Catacombs- To mitigate the harsh entry from daylight into the catacombs, the corridor and reception area were lit with custom tunable white LED COB ‘daylight tubes’, linked with 2 daylight sensors for a smooth transition. The golden-plated niches were highlighted with warm wall-washers for an even distribution.
Staircase Well- Due to the repetitive openings and varying height along the route of the staircase, custom wall-to-wall luminaire was designed, with up/down component on independent controls. This way, the mystical effect could be balanced throughout the route, in harmony with the daylit well. For the night condition, an inground light dish inside the foot pool hints the moon reflection on the water.

Second level is the most complex and diverse. The visitor moves around alternate centers with variable degrees of light, humidity and temperature.
Sphere Pool- to enhance the shape and the experience of the sphere pool, two custom large scale systems were designed. At the top of the sphere, with the 1.5m deep skylight, a cylindrical lightbox was designed to allow for natural light, as well as artificial diffused light into the sphere. 4000K IP65 LED strips in gradient setting-out for optimum effect were installed on an aluminium cylinder and plexiglass diffuser, integrated within the architecture. The second system, four high-output spotlights aimed at a large custom parabolic reflector to generate a ’light column’ through the bottom glass and the water, for reflections. Additional discrete lighting in the outer wet areas was also introduced in warm tones.
Tepidarium- 3000K flexible LED luminaires were used in a perimeter cove to provide apparent brightness, while keeping the actual light levels low. For the centre of the space, 2500K source was used in the central pendant, for a soft relaxing glow.
Byzantine Hammam- in keeping with the character of the room, artificial lightubes were designed, with a 2-layer fibre optic system (2700K & 4000K) and frosted glass ‘vases’, for the central treatment pedestal, while the perimeter resting areas were lit with soft indirect neutral white light.
Design Challenge: A destination spa hotel, such as the Euphoria Retreat, is a holistic immersive experience, where the light and the design of it becomes a silent protagonist that can hide and reveal elements, draw visitors to one area or another and play with the human senses, with low levels of illumination, tone contrast and detailing that integrates seamlessly with the architecture. It was good reminder for the design team to slow down, take a moment and understand what is vital to each space and each experience.
For the purposes of this entry, only selective feature areas of the project are presented, while the lighting design addressed the project in it's entirety.
Inspiration: The design of the Spa is meant to be peaceful and subversive, meditative and hallucinatory, orderly and free-flowing. This occurs through a choreographed transition of spaces in which light, sound, temperature, humidity, textures and smells create immersive sensory experiences. The lighting strategy needed to accommodate the sudden transition from the outdoors, into the catacombs, through to the wet areas and identify each of these areas with a unique character and environment.
Project Duration: The Euphoria Spa is the centerpiece of the Euphoria Retreat, located beside the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mystras, in Greece. The project was completed within 2.5 years.
