The story

We are proud to have contributed to the transformation of HB Tower into a striking landmark through innovative architectural façade lighting. Located at the gateway to the world-renowned Yas Island, this newly developed commercial tower offers premium office space overlooking the Yas Marina Formula 1 Circuit and Yas Bay. The dynamic LED lighting installation enhances the building's distinctive geometry, creating a memorable nighttime identity that reinforces its presence within Abu Dhabi's iconic skyline.

Inspired by the clean geometry of a precisely cut gemstone, the façade is accentuated with more than 800 metres of OneEightyOne V-Series pixel-controlled contour lighting. Powered by nearly 50,000 individually addressable LED pixels and controlled by DiGidot Node U96 controllers with MADRIX software, the installation transforms the building into a dynamic architectural landmark after dark. The pixel-controlled façade lighting enables smooth gradients, flowing animations, and seamless colour transitions, adding a new dimension to architectural lighting while emphasizing the tower's sculpted form and creating a unique visual identity.
