Description
LOCATION: ABU DHABI, UAE
USE: HOSPITALITY – High Rise
Scope: INTERNAL & EXTERNAL LIGHTING DESIGN
This top business class hotel, located in the fashionable Khalidiya neighborhood across from the renowned Emirates Palace, offers a unique blend of modern design and superior comfort. This 255-meter-tall tower will dominate the coastline and usher in a new era of modern style in the capital.
The interiors, created by UK design firm MKV Design, are inspired by Abu Dhabi’s sea, sand, and pearl fishing heritage. The lighting strategy is based on creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere while highlighting the rich materials and textures found throughout the hotel’s various spaces.
Accent lighting is used to establish hierarchy and provide focal points, guiding guests through the various spaces and creating a stimulating ambiance. A delicate balance of intensity and contrast creates a sense of intimacy and comfort in the rooms. Coves and grazers highlight the unusual materials used and complement the interior architecture.
The control strategy is based on providing different scenes throughout the day, depending on the time of day and activity levels, to enhance the overall guest experience.
