I design systems that create the perfect mood, from the grandeur of a hotel lobby to the intimate warmth of a restaurant lounge. ## Photos and videos - ![This banquet hall at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Jaipur is designed for versatility. The lighting scheme uses elegant cove lighting within the coffered ceilings to provide soft, indirect ambient light, supplemented by large decorative fixtures that add a touch of formality and scale.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/08a77ab7-a1d4-445e-967e-0178e30378b8) - ![An all-day dining restaurant where the feature wall is the hero.

I use Dialux simulations to map light levels before installation, ensuring your staff has the functional brightness to serve efficiently, while the guest experience remains anchored in the warmth and subtle drama that makes a venue feel premium. Good hospitality lighting is not about flooding a room with brightness; it is about sculpture. When I design for hotels and restaurants, my process begins with the emotional intent of the space. Whether it is a grand banquet hall like the one at DoubleTree by Hilton, or an intimate terrace lounge, the goal is to define the boundaries of the environment without overpowering the architecture. My approach focuses on: **Technical Precision** Before a single fixture is installed, I conduct rigorous Lux level calculations. This ensures that dining tables have enough light for menus to be legible, while the periphery remains soft. For hotel lobbies, I calculate the 'light landing' to ensure transitions between daylight and interior artificial light are seamless. **Texture and Depth** In restaurant design, flat lighting is the enemy. I employ techniques like wall grazing to reveal the texture of stone cladding or decorative panels, creating rhythm on the walls. This breaks the monotony and guides the eye through the space. **Human-Centric Comfort** Hospitality environments require high Color Rendering Index (CRI >90) lighting. This is non-negotiable for food and beverage areas; it ensures ingredients look vibrant and furniture colors remain true. By layering ambient lighting with accent spots, I build a sense of visual luxury that guests feel instantly when they walk in. My consultancy covers everything from the initial mood boarding to the final focusing visit, where I manually adjust every beam angle to ensure the light lands exactly where the architecture demands. ## About Illuminaty I am Harkiran, and at Illuminaty, I believe light is the jewellery of architecture. My approach is to strip away the clutter, using precisely placed light to reveal textures, guide movement, and set the emotional tempo of your space.
