Precision Lighting in Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands Singapore’s latest restaurant, Adrift, has welcomed Precision Lighting in completing the much anticipated project. The brand’s Evo range provided the ideal fit, lighting the décor of the 1,000ft² space.
As the interior design scheme integrated suspended charred timber beams and antiquated metal screens within a feature enclosure over the restaurant, it was a requirement for the spotlights to be carefully mounted within the space. Lighting Designer Peggy Tan, Project Lighting Design, explains: “We made use of node monopoints to attach MR11 spotlights onto a delicate metal structure.”
The nodes represent the smallest of Precision’s monopoint mounting options, all of which utilise the company’s versatile Jack Plug to allow for easy removal and connection of the luminaire for cleaning and relamping. Also important was the form-factor, with the luminaires needing to look similarly delicate and in proportion with the suspended assembly.
The result is spotlights, sympathetically finished in rubbed bronze to harmonise with the aesthetics of the interior and complementing the style and highly welcoming ambience. The venue’s design, by Wilson Associates’ restaurant-focused subsidiary Blueplate Studios, features antiqued-metal screens, combining with the lighting design to offer a distinctly edgy appearance.
In addition to aesthetics, the lighting performance of the spotlights enhances the restaurant’s design, with Gobo projectors replicating shadows of the enclosure weave, heightening the visual drama of the scheme.
With Adrift being the latest restaurant to feature spotlights from the Evo range, lighting designers working in the hospitality sector are benefiting from a spotlight that is lockable in both pan and tilt, and can be rotated smoothly through 360 degrees thanks to the low friction bearing aided mechanism, giving flexibility to any scheme.
