The Opus truly shines in the night with its stunning lighting system. The void comes alive at night giving the impression of a glowing cube hanging over the ground. The façade lights will play on every curve and crevice of the building imparting a unique personality to it that will give it its character and personality.

Creation is proud to be associated with this prestigious project.

We have programmed the Pharos Control System for DMX controlled RGB façade lights. According to Mr. Dharmendra Patel, MD, Creation, “Due to the sheer scale of the project, the overall system was quite complex. Especially challenging was the task of programming wherein thousands of lights had to be correctly mapped and addressed, tested and patched individually in the software”. It is our in-house expertise and successful track record that prompted Pharos to recommend us to undertake Project Management of their Architectural DMX system. We oversaw the project for the façade lighting controls over a period of two years says Mr. Dharmendra Patel.

Creation was retained for the supply, testing and commissioning of Helvar Lighting Control Systems for the All Day Dining area, Spa, Gym, and some BoH areas of ‘ME by Melia’. “We had worked with Bond Interiors in the past and this project was through their recommendation,” explains Mr. Patel.

Creation Gulf has been managing the gridshell lighting as a Project Management contractor over past four years for Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi where the famous F1 Grand Prix  is held annually.

The main feature of hotel design: a 217-meter expanse of sweeping, curvilinear glass and steel covering with close to 5000 LED lights that illuminate the diamond shaped glass panes. This Gridshell is a key aspect of the overall architectural design as it creates an atmospheric-like veil visible from miles away.

It is a measure of our capability and successful Project Management skills and strategy that has resulted in achieving optimum efficiency at this site. Needless to say that the challenges have been numerous and only those engaged in continuous background technical support, repair and maintenance truly understand what it means to have a happy client.

The lights on The Dubai Frame too will loudly proclaim its unique presence in the night sky. Every possible means to obtain an effect will be tried—colour, direction of light, pattern and movement. Each night we will see the Dubai Frame dressed up in reds, blues, and other colourful combinations, in celebration of some cause or holiday. However, what lies beneath this nocturnal makeover is a complex set of programs, instruments and artistry, controlled by state of the art technology.

There are over 3000 RGB Tiles overall in the viewing deck that are being controlled by a Pharos control panel, speaking for the complexity of the project. Pharos Controls, the manufacturer for the Lighting Control System recommended us for the programming of the system. This system was set in place by the Creation team, which was called in to set up the programming of the Lighting Control Systems for the RGB Tiles in the viewing deck of The Dubai Frame.

The project has control equipment for over 10,000 DMX addresses. These needed to be distributed among the fixtures. We had to track these addresses at the software end and map out and replicate the site's actual addressing in the program for thousands of fixtures. Lastly, tests were conducted on-site to ensure that each tile can be individually and independently controlled. All of this is before we began programming the actual effects. Following the initial testing, we programmed almost 30 effects and sequences so the client can cycle through them and eventually determine which are the final sequences he would like to use.
