Spicers Guesthouse
SPICERS GUESTHOUSE HUNTER VALLEY
Spicers Guesthouse is a luxury retreat situated amidst the wineries of the Hunter Valley, with exceptional views of the rolling mountain ranges.
JHA’s specialist lighting team partnered with Spicers, Cottee Parker and Turner & Townsend Thinc to deliver illuminated spaces which are sensitive to the surrounds, and which resonate with an elegance synonymous with the Spicers brand.
An important aspect of the design strategy was our focus on the ‘arrival experience’ – ensuring that guests are welcomed from the property boundary at the beginning of the driveway, through the carpark and exterior grounds and into the warmth of the interiors, via soft lighting integrated within the landscape. The view of the stars in the Hunter region is phenomenal, so controlling unwanted light spill was an integral principle of the lighting strategy.
Inside, the lighting approach evokes a warm and relaxed ambiance to all guest areas; from the restaurant, lounge and bar, the stunning architectural proportions of the wine cellar to the multipurpose function spaces and guestrooms.
