Lighting in the upscale beach bar focuses on the materiality of the architectural composition and the implementation details. Directional lighting and focused spotlights create a play between light and shadow.

The entrance is governed by the large water features, where underwater linear lights create a homogenous glow effect. Spotlights both on the roof and underwater, highlight the different decorative elements that are strategically curated by the architects. The large palm trees create a central axis that runs through the whole complex, narrow beam uplighters turn them into elements that define the whole synthesis and can be viewed from a distance. Custom made hanging lights and lanterns complete the night image of the beach bar.
