About the Project

The story

We’re proud to contribute to the transformation of HB Tower into a distinctive landmark through dynamic architectural lighting. This newly built commercial tower forms a gateway to the world-renowned Yas Island and offers premium office space with sweeping views of the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit and Yas Bay.

THE
PROCESS

Contour lighting

The tower’s striking geometry, inspired by the angular facets of a precisely cut gemstone, is enhanced at night with more than 800 meters of OneEightyOne V-Series contour lighting. These pixel-controlled linear fixtures are seamlessly integrated along the edges of the building, emphasizing its sharp, sculpted form. 

Movement and shape

Unlike traditional contour lighting, which typically provides a uniform static line of light, pixel-controlled contour lighting brings an entirely new dimension. It allows for smooth gradients, subtle transitions, and dynamic effects that follow the geometry of the architecture. The result is a façade that comes to life - visually communicating the building’s identity and engaging its surroundings through movement and light. 

The control system

The lighting is powered by 8 DiGidot Node U96 units, enabling control of nearly 50,000 individual pixels. Combined with Madrix software, this setup ensures precision control and creative flexibility for designers.

This project showcases the powerful synergy between advanced lighting technology and visionary architecture.
