Hard Rock Hotel – Goa, India

, , ,

In the heart of North Goa is Calangute, the beach-belt, party-capital of South West India, and in Calangute is the Hard Rock Hotel. Describing itself as an entertainment destination, Hard Rock Hotel Goa is an example of the Hard Rock Cafe mentality, going above and beyond what is expected.

The re-design of this hotel was undertaken by Fuse Studios in 2013, who recruited Technical Arts to design the lighting for the hotel and the all new Rock Shop.

Improvements were made to the bedrooms and the lobby, restaurants and pool were given facelifts too. Technical Arts oversaw that the lighting was both luxurious, warm and inviting whilst also being reflective of the Rock and Roll nature of the hotel.

The brief for this re-branding was to maximise the brand impact on a tight budget and a tight deadline. The one major installation permitted was the giant ‘Hard Rock’ sign above a mirror pool, certainly maximising brand impact when first entering the hotel.

Butlin’s – Bognor Regis, England

Technical Arts were first approached by Bourne Leisure in February of 2018 in order to help them define and develop their requirements for a permanently installed audio system for the new Splash Pool development at the Butlins holiday resort in Bognor Regis.

The client brief requested a multi zone audio system capable of satisfying the day to day operation of the pool, with the capacity and the quality to provide high end, full range sound for the regular pool parties and adult only weekend special event programme.

A great idea of emphasis was placed on the need for the performance audio system within the pool to be heard but not seen. Technical Arts worked closely with the lead architect and partnered with 2B Heard to integrate K-Array ultra-discreet line array products onto decorative lampposts that flank the Wavepool.

Additional peripheral zones including the café and changing village were equipped with recessed and surface mounted loudspeakers from the Soundtube portfolio, providing high quality background music and paging.
