CPL designs architectural lighting scheme for Crowne Plaza Hotel event

Central Presentations Limited (CPL) was tasked with designing, specifying, and producing an architectural lighting scheme - primarily utilizing battery powered LED luminaires - for the exterior of the Crowne Plaza Hotel at the Heythrop Park Resort in Oxfordshire, UK.

 

CPL was commissioned for the project by a Belgian production company for their end client, a pharmaceutical brand. They wanted a special evening treatment for the front entrance of the hotel to welcome their 250 conference delegates. CPL’s team was led by Mike Radford.

 

The primary elements walls were highlighted with a selection of wireless LED fixtures and moving lights with custom gobos in weather-domes. The front entrance itself is an area of around 50 metres wide incorporating walls, arches and pillars, for which Radford chose a Core Point 30 LED flood to colour and highlight the wall sections.

 

For a feature wall which also includes the Crowne Plaza logo they used eight Claypaky GlowUp Strip wireless battens. The pillars of the porte-cochère (covered porch drop off area for vehicle passengers) were up lit with 12 x ProLights Smartbat LED uplighters.

 

Eight Claypaky Mythos moving lights housed in Towair 180 inflatable domes were positioned on the ground opposite the entrance and focussed onto the building fascia. All eight fixtures were fitted with two different custom gobos - four with one type and four the other - which were beamed onto the wall and cross faded. Another two Mythos were located under the porte-cochère and programmed to scan the roof.

 

An Avolites Quartz console was the control surface, which was programmed and operated for the duration of the installation by Martin Poole. The power requirements - needed just for the 10 Mythos and control - were minimal. Inside Heythrop, where the event’s conference sessions and first night gala dinner were staged, CPL additionally supplied a full technical production package comprising sound, lighting and video equipment and crew.
