SCA Headquarters
LOCATION: DUBAI, UAE
USE: GOVERNMENTAL – OFFICES & CORPORATE
SCOPE: FAÇADE LIGHTING DESIGN
The lighting design approach is simple and contemporary, focusing on the general volumetric language and the architectural details.
Ground floor columns and walls are uplighted, to reveal the building’s shape and perimeter.
Strong emphasis on the unique architectural details; linear lighting for the horizontal profiles, light wash on the terrace ceiling, uplights on the roof’s pergola and high contrast for the terrace tree. All these allow the building to differentiate from adjacent architecture.
Finally, an additional concept is introduced; sparkling white dots transform the auditorium’s front elevation into an urban screen, communicating to the exterior what is taking place indoors.
