Latitude is a substantial
refurbishment project within the world renowned 5 star Jumeirah
Beach Hotel, Dubai. The interior designers, KCA International have
applied their skills to transform the appearance of the Colonnade,
creating a totally new and unique visitor experience.
During the daytime, Latitude benefits from substantial levels of daylight. However at night, the lighting has a major impact, when the interiors metamorphose into exciting and dynamic environments. This is achieved using numerous lighting elements, ranging from fibre optic sparkle ceilings, stunning internally lit water features, meandering ceiling light boxes, colour washes onto blinds that automatically lower at night, moving projected images and colour changing ribbons of light within the building fabric. Light sources include; fibre optics, long life white and RGB LED's, energy efficient dimmable fluorescent lamps, cold-cathode, and narrow beam low voltage lamps. Substantial effort has also been applied to the lighting control system to ensure that the completed installation is both flexible in its operation, and also very user friendly. The combination of the different lighting elements and the automatic/dynamic lighting control system enables the emphasis to be subtly changed throughout the evening. The lighting also reflects the change in customer use throughout the evening, with more dynamic changes during periods of high activity, slowing to subtle, imperceptible changes later in the evening. The lighting has been very carefully integrated
into the scheme, with consideration being given to the lit effects,
energy efficiency and to minimising ongoing future maintenance. |
