Nestled in a vibrant community, the new Ada Hotel rises from the ashes of the original structure lost to fire in 1942, blending historic reverence with modern hospitality. Integrated lighting layers natural and electric illumination, enhancing the curated interiors with a dynamic, balanced atmosphere.

Along the Ada River, the three-story hotel centers on a sculptural atrium. Shallow ceilings led to low-profile LED tape lights with grazing optics, highlighting the ceiling’s contours while lighting the lobby below without downlights. Discreet accent fixtures and flexible track lighting add sparkle and functionality to event spaces, while vintage-style luminaires in restaurants and guest rooms echo the hotel’s narrative.

A sophisticated control system transitions lighting from bright mornings to moody evenings, integrating daylight and occupancy sensors for efficiency. Careful collaboration maintained lighting as a core design element, crafting a timeless environment where warm materials, historic references, and modern systems come together.
