Our lighting design concept for the Royal Atlantis façade draws inspiration from the enchanting underwater realm of Atlantis, weaving a narrative that unfolds seamlessly from day to night, mirroring the captivating interplay of light on water. The essence of this design lies in its ability to encapsulate the organic form of the building, accentuating its distinctive architecture to create a visually stunning impact. This narrative materializes through the images, showcasing the interplay of illuminated waves, orchestrating a dynamic balance between light and darkness.
Delving into the core artistic elements, our lighting design is characterized by intentional composition and equilibrium. The interplay of light and dark is orchestrated to emphasize the undulating curves of the façade, with strategically positioned fixtures serving as focal points. This deliberate orchestration seamlessly integrates with architectural features, enriching the façade’s texture and depth, resulting in a mesmerizing effect that captivates both guests and passersby alike.
Distinguishing itself through innovative lighting techniques and cutting-edge technologies, our design introduces custom fixtures that softly illuminate balconies, infusing a sense of luxury and tranquility. The incorporation of dynamic light projections within the resort’s pools and Sky Courts transforms these spaces into immersive art experiences, evolving seamlessly as day transitions into night. This creative fusion of lighting and architecture serves as a testament to our originality and pioneering spirit, with every project component reimagined to surpass conventional expectations for a hotel façade.
A direct response to the coastal location and overarching theme of Atlantis, our lighting design pays homage to Dubai’s skyline, positioning Atlantis the Royal as a new iconic landmark. This contextual alignment ensures a harmonious integration of light and space, elevating the overall guest experience and contributing significantly to the resort’s coastal ambiance.
The seamless integration of our lighting design with the architecture extends to specialized fixtures carefully chosen to accentuate the façade’s curves and features. Balcony partitions are illuminated not only as design elements but also as practical lighting solutions, enhancing the building’s nighttime appearance. Sky courts, a prominent feature, undergo dynamic transformations through the adaptability and animation of soffit lighting, creating a watery effect that adds a dynamic layer to the building at different times of the day.
Contributing significantly to the guest experience, our lighting design provides visual comfort, facilitates easy navigation, and differentiates spaces. Immersive lighting installations, such as underwater LED screens and projection-mapped bars, craft memorable moments for visitors, resonating emotionally with the concept of Atlantis and instilling a sense of wonder and amazement.
In alignment with our commitment to sustainability, the design prioritizes energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Thoughtful fixture selection and control systems ensure optimal energy usage, with centralized management for spaces based on usage patterns. This conscientious approach extends to dark sky management, where lights on the façade are integrated into the architecture to minimize light trespass, emphasizing the project’s commitment to sustainable practices.
Adhering to the highest standards of technical proficiency, our design underwent rigorous lighting calculations to ensure optimal illumination levels and uniformity. Industry best practices informed fixture selection, and advanced control systems were integrated for efficient façade-wide lighting management, showcasing technical excellence.
Meticulous planning for maintenance and operation ensures the longevity of the design, with durable and reliable fixtures chosen and accessible maintenance solutions incorporated. Regular collaboration with the client and adherence to Lighting Advocacy Toolkit principles position us to address any potential longevity concerns effectively.
The project’s unique challenges, stemming from its scale and architectural complexity, required innovative solutions to balance the lighting’s impact while maintaining the resort’s luxury ambiance. The dynamic nature of the project team and design changes demanded adaptability and continuous collaboration, resulting in an exceptional lighting design deserving recognition and distinction.
700 words are not nearly enough to describe all the brilliant aspects of this project that took a decade to complete with LT being the sole lighting designer involved. So we hope that its huge track of awards, features, and number of parties involved will help you get a clearer look on how gigantic this project is and how much deserving of all the credit it’s getting.
Atlantis The Royal, This is it.
