The Newt in Somerset
Bruton
Luxury Hospitality by Hotel Lighting Designer Illuminationworks
Awards
Illuminationworks reimagines The Newt in Somerset, a 230-year-old Hadspen House estate transformed into a luxury hospitality retreat. Our lighting design seamlessly enhances every element of this remarkable project, from the historic main house to its ancillary buildings, spa, and public spaces.
Delve into the exquisite interplay of light in the spa—layered ambient effects and subtly illuminated relaxation spaces. From the stunning indoor pool, rear-lit halotherapy salt walls, indirectly lit hammam, rasul, sauna, steam, and treatment rooms, lighting design enhances the atmosphere of luxury.
In public areas, the threshing barn, with its soaring uplit wood-slatted ceiling, acts as a welcome centre and exhibition space. The cider press, shop, cider house, café & glasshouse all utilise similar lighting elements for continuity by the hotel lighting designer.
Across the 720-acre landscape, our minimal yet strategic lighting preserves the countryside's charm, providing visual landmarks for safe navigation. Illuminate your journey with the nuanced brilliance of hotel lighting designer Illuminationworks at The Newt in Somerset.
