Princess Quarter

The floor here is polished marble, which means every ceiling fitting appears twice — once overhead and once underfoot. RL-DL3333 answers that with a super-deep cup and a double anti-glare cone, so the reflection shows light on the stone and no visible source. RL-ST1226 does most of the rest of the work without ever being seen: the perimeter cove at the ceiling edge, the backlit fluted panel behind the signage, and the warm line beneath the reception desk, all from a 10mm tape in a shadow gap. RL-WS8118 mounts vertically on the marble piers as a slim illuminated line, specified in gold to sit with the brass detailing — the catalogue diffuser is plainer than the fluted glass shown, so treat the finish as the match rather than the detail. RL-SDL1417 at 3W and Ø38mm puts a narrow beam on the desk and the flowers, which is what makes the point of arrival the brightest thing in the room.

The whole terrace scheme is governed by one constraint: residents came up here for the view, so nothing may sit brighter than the city. RL-DL1605 is recessed into the canopy soffit — IP65 for a structure open on every side, with a deep cup because people sit beneath it looking outward and a visible source at that height would land squarely in the sightline. RL-BL3296 marks the paving edges from 700mm, its angled shielded head sending light down into the beds and across the stone with nothing thrown horizontally. Beneath the timber benches, RL-ST1229 is concealed to make the seating appear to float, specified IP68 rather than IP65 because the channel sits at deck level on an exposed roof. In the planting, adjustable RL-SP3016 spots give the beds depth after dark — aimed on site, and re-aimed as the planting grows in.
