the brief
after many years of fighting the coastal conditions, the engineering team decided it was time
to replace their ailing fixtures. this was the first large-scale dynamic facade lighting project in the region to use LED fixtures, setting a new benchmark for hospitality lighting in the UAE. a project of this significance needed to work reliably night after night without fail, while
still providing the flexibility to allow the client to join in special events by lighting the
facade in various colours. the control architecture was designed to be straightforward enough
for in-house operators to manage without specialist support.
our role
we designed and implemented the facade lighting system. after several years, we were asked to extend the original design to include the road side of the building as well.project details
