Dubai Mall Penguinarium
attraction lighting. animal welfare.
lighting / control

the brief

creating an ice cave in the Dubai desert? sure! why not! linking different lighting control systems to support the animal welfare as well? sounds like fun!
the challenge was establishing a distinctive environment for guests while prioritising animal comfort and natural cycles — then integrating with show control systems to produce an immersive animated experience synchronised with educational video content.

our role

we worked collaboratively across multiple stakeholders, conducting thorough research to establish the right conditions for the animals alongside the guest experience.
photosensors automatically adjust overall attraction lighting levels to align with animal-specific lighting requirements, enhancing their overall welfare. the lighting infrastructure integrates with show control to produce the immersive animated experience synchronised with video content.
