Coreum Hotel

Since its opening two years ago, the Coreum Hotel in Stockstadt am Rhein has been setting new standards in sustainable architectural lighting design combining innovation with environmental awareness. The Berlin-based lighting designers from Studio De Schutter have created a lighting concept that impressively emphasises the striking architecture of the hotel and at the same time impresses with forward-looking, resource-saving solutions.

The Coreum site in Stockstadt am Rhein is a unique centre for innovation, training, further education and events in Europe. It connects specialists and leading companies in the construction, handling and recycling industry on an international level. Based on this brand DNA, Sabine De Schutter and her team created a sophisticated concept that is also reflected in the lighting design for the neighbouring Coreum Hotel.

Lighting design for functionality, well-being and sustainability
When planning the lighting for the hotel, the designers consistently focussed on sustainable technologies and efficient concepts. Only luminaires with replaceable light sources were integrated on the upper floors – a solution that simplifies maintenance and significantly reduces waste. These luminaires are complemented by energy-efficient LED technology, which minimises electricity consumption and helps to reduce the environmental impact. All the luminaires in the hotel are round and softly shaped – as a deliberate contrast to the robust materiality of the architecture with concrete, metal and stone. At the same time, their warm lighting effect creates a cosy atmosphere in the clearly structured rooms.

Designed in collaboration with the architects from Atelier 522 and the landscape architects from Freiraumconcept, the Coreum Hotel offers a total of 129 rooms on five floors, including 20 junior suites.

In addition to the guest rooms, various retreats invite guests to linger and relax: a stylish lounge area with piano, a modern working area and a well-equipped gym offer guests a pleasant balance to the dynamic surroundings of the Coreum complex.

On the ground floor, dust-resistant luminaires with reduced surfaces were also chosen in order to minimise maintenance costs in the long term. This decision was particularly important to the lighting designers as the Coreum Hotel is part of a training and exhibition centre for construction machinery and is therefore ex-posed to exceptional environmental conditions such as high levels of dust.
