Projects

Dynamic lighting brings giant spaceship to life

Our team envisioned and created dynamic lighting for the Chimelong Spaceship, the world’s largest indoor aquarium and theme park, spanning half a mile in Zhuhai, China. We addressed significant challenges posed by the building’s reflective aluminum panels and parabolic shape, developing a solution that met technical requirements and amplified the project’s architectural beauty.

Immersive London design lights up Cotai Strip resort

The Londoner, a Cotai Strip resort in Macao, China, wanted a new podium façade designed to replicate the iconic Parliament building in London, complete with Elizabeth Tower (formerly known as Big Ben Clock Tower). Our team designed all podium façade fixtures to be RGBW, DMX-controlled through eight servers and over 1 million addresses. The design allows for elaborate evening light shows timed to music. As the guests’ visual comfort was a priority, accent luminaires were carefully placed to eliminate glare and conceal from view.

Advanced lighting design sets new standards for sustainable illumination

Jio World Centre, an 8.5-million-square-foot complex in Mumbai, India, was designed to be a world-class destination that redefined architectural illumination in India. The “Technology Showcase” included every light fixture individually controlled and programmed with a modern DALI control system, the largest ever built by the vendor. Dynamic lighting included four-channel RGBA DMX-controlled LEDs, all coordinated through the same lighting control system. All combined, there are over 14,500 unique control zones, with technology and design honoring the culture and spirit of India while showcasing its abilities.
