shadowing, so that gamers and croupiers
alike can’t conceal any untoward activi-
ties. The crystal chandelier above provides
an ambient glow and is the major glamour
statement. Surrounding ambient light comes
from cove lighting washing the rich fabrics
that adorn the walls. The Crystal Club
Lounge is a 6.5m high space with a fully
glazed façade presenting a view down the
Cotai Strip. Narrow beam downlights are
concealed within the ceiling cove streaking
light across the sheer curtain, partially ob-
scuring the gamers’ view of the competitor
hotels. Leather clad columns are accented
in the same fashion. Wall hung chandeliers
have integrated downlights to accent the
tables below so maintenance for fittings at
high level is reduced.
The Club Bar has LED strips integrated
behind the shelving, enhancing the textured
stone face. The chandelier over the bar
is lit from above so that the crystal is the
prominent feature rather than the light
source.
The High Roller Villas are complementary
to VIP gamers. Some take up half a floor
and contain every item of luxury you would
expect when gaming with millions of dollars
a night. Rich wall fabrics are accented with
wall wash downlights whilst ambient 2400K
cold cathode lighting reflects off the gold
leaf ceiling providing the ever important
golden amber light that is quintessential to
Asian luck in casinos.
LED strip lighting is integrated under joinery
elements and within shelving. Decorative
screens are in sillhouette where the wall
behind is uplit. The bathrooms are luxurious
with huge plunge baths and a custom chan-
delier above that integrates a downlight
Left The ‘experience showers’ feature integrated
to accent the bath. The gold tiled curved
mosaic tile RGB LED modules that are programmed
to cycle between shades of blue for the cool shower
wall behind is haloed with LED strips. Linear and red, orange and amber for the warm
fluorescent is integrated within the mir-
rors and IP65 versions are fitted under the
shower bench.
Mark Elliott is obviously delighted with the
scheme. “In an environment where light is
so important and in many cases where the
Asian culture requires higher light levels
than we’re used to in the western world,
our philospohy was to conceal the light as
much as possible whilst enabling all the rich
