Award-winning lighting design consultancy will
illuminate six projects in Singapore and one in
Dubai
SINGAPORE, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ --
Lighting design consultancy Light Cibles Group announced seven
international wins in the first quarter of 2012. The firm was
commissioned for six development projects in Singapore: Empress
Theatre, Lion City, Robertson Quay, Hotel Sofitel So, Scotts Tower,
and Singapore Sports Hub; and re-appointed as consultant for the
Dubai International Airport Concourse 4.
"There is increasing demand in Asia and the Middle
East for contemporary lighting concepts which regard
sustainability, cost-efficiency, and aesthetics as critically
important. Light Cibles is pleased to announce having landed major
projects in these growth regions," says Emmanuel Clair, Group CEO
of Light Cibles.
Clair says spectacular lighting now goes beyond
dazzling installations and projections. "Lighting designers have
access to innovative lighting technologies and are encouraged to
use as much space and natural lighting to achieve timeless
impressions that are also eco-compliant."
Regionally headquartered in Singapore, Light Cibles
is acclaimed for its expertise in architectural lighting design.
Its concept for Resorts World Sentosa has garnered the Singapore
Building & Construction Authority's (BCA) Green Mark award.
Other notable landmarks lit by the firm include the Cathedral of
Notre Dame and Mont Saint-Michel in France; Beirut Central
District; and Esplanade Theatre, Fullerton Hotel, and Fullerton Bay
Hotel in Singapore. Light Cibles is operating out of key cities
Paris, Madrid, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and
Tianjin.
According to Clair, the lighting design studies for
the Robertson Quay project in Singapore will begin to take shape in
August 2012, encompassing the hotel building's restoration and the
development of a mixed residential and commercial
zone.
Light Cibles will cast a new glow on the hotel's
guestrooms, facade, open areas including dining and recreational
facilities, as well as develop studies for the planned residential
apartment and its surrounding environs.
For Scotts Tower, Light Cibles has presented a
stunning concept for the rooftop pool and decks, façade, lobby
lounges and terraces, and interiors of the building to developer
Far East Organization. Scotts Tower is a high-end residential
building designed by famed Dutch architect Ben van Berkel of
UNStudio,
Strongly positioning itself as partner for flagship
public infrastructure projects, Light Cibles also announced its
success in bidding for the lighting of the Singapore Sports Hub's
National Stadium dome. The largest and lightest in world of sports
accommodation, the Stadium dome is expected to be the center of
attention once the Sports Hub is completed in
2014.
Light Cibles supports the creation of spectacular
lighting effects on the dome's retractable roof which transform it
into a huge screen presentation when there are sporting
events.
Dragages Singapore Pte Ltd has appointed Light
Cibles in late 2011, following a two-year bidding process. The
design studies and implementation are expected to be completed
before the end of 2012.
Clair also shared that Light Cibles has been
contracted to provide lighting design consultancy services to three
other Singapore projects: the Empress Square project, a six-storey
entertainment complex by the Eng Wah group; the Lion City Mixed
Development, in partnership with SAA Architects; and the Hotel
Sofitel So, which will open its doors in
2013.
In the Middle East, Dubai International Airport
developer Dar Al-Hadassah re-engaged Light Cibles to illuminate
Concourse 4. Construction of this new wing will begin in 2015, and
expected to be in operations by 2018. The lighting design studies
for the terminal's interiors are expected to be delivered before
the end of 2012.
Light Cibles has recently completed lighting design
concept and implementation for the Dubai Airport's Concourse 2 and
3.
