W Hotel

The key to the views was not only illustrating the architectural design, but the lighting which was treated as an art installation. Jason Bruges, the renowned lighting artist, designed an intricate lighting scheme behind the semi opaque facade, so that as it gets darks the building can change its appearance and assume a different character. The building comprises a hotel, apartments, restaurants, casino and retail.
