A considered approach
Hotel stair & wayfinding lighting
Review the stair from both directions and consider guests carrying luggage. Handrail or wall lighting may work well when the source is shielded. Do not assume decorative step lights meet emergency requirements; the appointed specialist must verify the escape-lighting design. Coordinate recesses before stonework or joinery is fabricated.
What matters here
- 01
Make treads and landings readable
