The former dining space for the monks now accommodates a Michelin Star restaurant. Floor lights mediate between the monumentality of the 10 m high, vaulted space and the human scale while homogenously illuminating the ceiling plane with concealed indirect LED projectors.
The precious wine cellar of the in-house winery is illuminated by custom luminaires, consisting of curved bronze brackets and a cylindrical socket. The luminaire design with its omnidirectional carbon filament lamp is reminiscent of the original vault illumination with wall-mounted candles. On the wine bar’s wall, a pattern of wine bottles on bronze racks creates a relief. They are orchestrated by cardanic LED projectors from the aforementioned luminaire family.
In the connecting building between the former monastery and the spa building, the accesses are emphasized by directional light from bronze LED ceiling luminaires. Furthermore, the interior is lit from the outside by small rod light fittings, bringing the garden into the interior. Purely underground, a new spa building has been added. At the heart of the spa’s patios, dark reflecting pools serve as a mirror for the surrounding architecture and vegetation. The stone wall engulfing the water basin is softly illuminated by buried LED uplights. Pendant glass and bronze luminaires have been designed for the indoor pool. They are playfully arranged at varying heights and add brilliant luminous reflections to the space and water surface.
