UMAYA is proud to announce its appointment as the external and façade lighting design consultants of the Velamar and Marina Village communities in Panama. These are part of Buenaventura, a 9.000.000m2 urban development on the Pacific coast, 80 minutes west of Panama City.

This is UMAYA’s fifth lighting design consultancy contract since landing in Panama in 2015 with its first contract award for the interior lighting design of a Starwood Luxury Collection boutique hotel.

Since then UMAYA has secured multiple lighting design consultancy contracts across Latin America, which is further evidence of the appreciation that Real Estate Developers, Architects and Interior Designers in this region have for independent and professional lighting design services.

We believe that the key to UMAYA’s success in Central and South America has been our ability to combine world-class lighting consultancy with local know-how and presence. The collaborative approach between our Middle Eastern, European and Latin American lighting design studios results in lighting design schemes that are both aesthetically pleasing, technically sound and market conscious in terms of technical, commercial and project management feasibility.
