One Hyde Park

A lobby floor polished to a mirror doubles every fitting above it, so each product here was picked for how little of it shows. RL-TR1416 sits on RL-NWTRK recessed into the ceiling slot; the beam zooms on the fitting from 10° to 60°, which matters because the art and the floral installation change and nobody wants to be re-lamping to re-aim. RL-LDL1510 carries the general layer with a deep tube and a glass diffuser rather than PC — the glass is what stops the aperture reading as plastic when it is reflected in the stone below. RL-SDL1416 handles the tight beams on the bronzes and plinths; at Ø62mm with 16° optics and bronze or brass finish options, the fitting can be specified to disappear into the ceiling it sits in. Everything else is RL-ST1226, hidden in shadow gaps to light the lift portal reveal and the underside of the plinths.

The water court is the arrival moment, and every fitting in it is either underwater, under stone or permanently wet — so the specification is driven by material grade before anything else. RL-SMWW-02 runs along the head of the water wall in a 304 stainless housing, grazing straight down the falling sheet so the water itself becomes the light source. Set flush into the paving and the ledge, RL-RECWW-01 draws the long unbroken lines that pull the eye toward the entrance; it is IP67 rather than IP65 because those channels stand in water, and the 10° optic is what gives a hard edge instead of a soft spill. RL-IG2906 uplights the wall base in 316-grade stainless — the marine grade, chosen because these sit in constant spray. In the tree grilles, RL-IG1910 provides the colour layer: OSRAM RGBW on DALI, so the birches hold warm white on an ordinary evening and shift to colour for events.
