The Kingdom of Bahrain is a multi-ethnic society and has the fastest-growing economy in the Arab world in addition to be a popular tourist destination in the Persian Gulf. Bahrain is famous for its impressive mosques, burial mounds, and traditional markets. The kingdom combines modern Arab culture and the archaeological legacy of five thousand years of civilization. The island is home to forts including Qalat Al Bahrain which has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Manama is the capital and largest city of Bahrain, with an approximate population of 157,000 people. The name Manama means place of rest or place of dreams in the Arabic language. Long an important trading center and a strategic international trade hub located in the Persian Gulf, Manama is home to a very diverse population. Geographically, Bahrain is a group of small islands sprinkled near Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s northeastern coast.
In 2018, $30-million The Atrium Shopping Mall and Towers, in a unique manner and with a university adjoining, which will include a supermarket and three anchor restaurants, as well as 23 retail units, are opened in Bahrain. It has been built in the Janabiya area, on an 86000 square meters plot and offers 48500 square meters of leaseable area. Extensive plans are underway to expand and improve the King Fahd Causeway which opened in 1986 linking the kingdom to Saudi Arabia and remains the only land link Bahrain has with the outside world. Atrium Mall and Towers will be an excellent touristic point with its unique geographic location next to the Saudi-Bahrain causeway.
We worked with a local partner in Bahrain to develop outdoor area lighting design of Atrium Mall and Tower shopping mall lighting project. The first thing in the project that you can notice is an alternative outdoor garden area experience which is not common in comparison with regular applications. So, we decided to use a Manama Series custom made lighting pole model add extra attention to the garden area. As a part of our
landscape lighting solution, we integrate our lighting fixtures to the architectural concept.
Landscape area is surrounding with soothing water features, restaurants and cafes. The entrance of the mall is being placed through this landscape area, so we used warm white led urban lighting poles and modern all lights to make the area well-lit and, functional for the visitors and residents of commercial areas. Restaurant
outdoor lighting had been part of our outdoor lighting project too. So we prevented the bad effects of lighting such as glare and lighting pollution using the accurate diffusers for a good beam angle in order to create comfort zones for guests.
Light34 LED wall luminaires were used to highlight the outdoor areas. They were excellently suited for the energy-efficient illumination of the entrance zone at the Atrium Mall building. With their symmetrical light distribution, they successfully illuminated and perfectly supplemented the constructed architecture, including on the landscape spaces and highlight to the plants.
Harmonized RGB light system has placed a
lighting pole body to create a special atmosphere in the backyard of the shopping mall. Multipurpose landscape lighting application will amaze the visitors, in addition, providing the full range of necessities within a beautiful space to gather with friends and family in a natural environment.
