The Edge

LOCATION: DUBAI, UAE
USE: OFFICES & CORPORATE
SCOPE: INTERNAL & FAÇADE LIGHTING DESIGN

This exclusive 100.000 sq.ft office building, located at the heart of Dubai Internet City, offers numerous facilities and retail options. The façade lighting scheme focused on enhancing the outer cage, to mark its presence during the nighttime while generating a balanced visual impact. Narrow beam wall washers illuminate the perimeter columns, while hidden projectors render the underside of the crown.

The lighting proposal for the entrance lobby was developed in two layers; the first layer focused on stressing the main visual targets, namely the huge paintings located at both sides of the lobby and the back wall which serves as a frame to the arrival experience. A second layer was introduced as general lighting; fill-in light to reach the appropriate light levels and balance the visual composition.

The result is a clean and sophisticated ambiance, which anticipates the upscale office units located inside.
