Rixos The Palm Dubai Hotel

Description

LOCATION: DUBAI, UAE
USE: HOSPITALITY
Scope: INTERNAL, FAÇADE & LANDSCAPE LIGHTING DESIGN

This magnificent water front development consists of a luxury hotel and residence, private marina, and beach club and is located in one of the most prestigious locations on Palm Jumeirah, on the right side end tip of the outer Crescent Island. To preserve The Palm’s unique spirit, the six-story five-star resort hotel, residences and serviced apartments, spa retreat, marina, and beach club have been designed in an elegant foliage shape.

The dialogue between the building and the sea served as the inspiration for the facade lighting concept. Our goal was to tell a story while capturing the energy, dynamism, and sparkle of the water surface at night. The architectural mesh served as a blank canvas for hundreds of light dots to recreate the sea’s eternal movement. During the night, the shape, speed, and tone of the waves change to reflect the excitement or serenity of the surroundings.

The indoor lighting design scheme, using the same concept, goes deeper, beneath the surface. To bring this concept to life, the main elements to emulate were sea colors, sun beams, reflections, and marine features. The underwater world is evoked by dynamic light hues, blue and turquoise anecdotes, and organic shaped lighting fixtures.
