(EMIRATES PALACE )The hotel is certainly the most expensive ever built at a cost of US$3bn.
EMIRATES PALACE ATRIUM
The Emirates Palace atrium is 60m high, 42m wide and topped with the largest dome in the world. It is decorated with 13 colours of marble, ranging from sunrise yellow to sunset red – to reflect the many different hues of the desert. Over 22-carat gold leaf covers the inside of the dome making it the greatest gilded expanse ever created in one building. The whole interior of the hotel is covered with 86,114ft² (6,000m²) of 22-carat gold leaf.
LIGHTING SYSTEMS
The lighting was designed by Wimberly, Allison, Tong & Goo. Elegant chandeliers, floor-standing lights and table lights are used in the guest rooms and suites to create the right atmosphere, while the corridors and stairways are lit by functional downlights.
Apart from design considerations, a major factor in the choice of lighting was its innovative technology. The use of compact fluorescent lamps and PC PRO electronic control gear from TridonicAtco ensures long lamp life and energy efficiency.
The luminaires were supplied by Bin Moosa Debbas/Emirates Lighting, a valued customer of Atco Controls Dubai who supplied the PC PRO control gear. A further 3,500 PC PRO units from TridonicAtco were installed for tubular fluorescent lamps in the offices, kitchens and garages.
