Hospitality

Bab Al Shams, Dubai

Bab Al Shams, an iconic Dubai resort since 2003, required a refurbishment that would modernise its aesthetic while preserving its essence of Arabian hospitality.

The resort features stunning architecture, desert views, multiple dining options and a range of activities. The lighting design for this project had to be special, setting the perfect scene for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the desert.

The lighting design at Bab Al Shams needed to integrate seamlessly with the resort’s architecture and landscape, enhancing the natural beauty of its desert surroundings.

The use of patterned decorative lighting, discreetly integrated fittings, and a careful selection of colour palettes and artistic elements, all contributed to a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The lighting design not only preserved the authenticity of the resort but also added a modern touch that enhanced the guest experience. The final outcome was a value-engineered solution that still delivered on the original design vision, contributing to the resort’s reputation as a premier luxury destination.
