Hotel lobby: Bright entrance, brighter reception, dim lounge

A night view of a hotel lobby, where brightness is deliberately designed as a guiding system. The entrance foyer has medium-to-high brightness, allowing guests entering from outdoors to transition their eyes. The reception desk is the brightest area in the entire lobby; its ceiling accent lighting and indirect light from under the counter make it recognizable from a distance, naturally drawing people towards it. After checking in, the lounge area is noticeably darker, with only floor lamps next to sofas and table lamps on coffee tables, providing low brightness and an intimate atmosphere suitable for long stays and conversations. The brightness of the three areas decreases sequentially, forming a visible circulation path. The color temperature is consistent warm white. Avoid: making the three areas equally bright, illuminating the lounge area as brightly as the reception desk, using single uniform ceiling lighting, making the entrance brighter than the reception desk.

一間飯店大廳的夜景,亮度被刻意設計成一套引導系統。入口門廳的亮度中等偏高,讓剛從戶外進來的人眼睛有過渡;接待櫃台是整個大廳最亮的區域,天花的重點照明與檯面下的間接光讓它在遠處就被一眼認出,人自然走過去;辦理完入住後的休息區則明顯較暗,只有沙發旁的立燈與矮几上的桌燈,亮度低、氣氛私密,適合久坐與談話。三個區域的亮度依序遞減,構成一條看得見的動線。色溫一致的暖白。避免:讓三個區域亮度相同、把休息區照得跟櫃台一樣亮、使用單一的天花均勻照明、讓入口比櫃台更亮。
