Corporate Office Lighting Design – One Central, Dubai World Trade Center, UAE

Project Name: Bluecrest Capital Management
Location: One Central, Dubai World Trade Center, Dubai, UAE
Project Type: Corporate Office / Financial Headquarters
Fit-Out Contractor: Summertown Interiors

Project Overview

Our architectural lighting design for Bluecrest Capital Management’s head office at One Central, Dubai World Trade Center, was developed to enhance the sophisticated and professional identity of this leading financial institution.
The objective was to create a modern, high-performance corporate workspace that balances functionality, visual comfort, and executive aesthetics. Through precision lux studies, advanced lighting simulations, and carefully selected 4000K LED lighting, we delivered a refined office environment that promotes productivity while reinforcing corporate prestige.

Design Concept Stage

Lux Study & Lighting Simulation

The project began with a comprehensive preliminary lux study to determine the optimal illumination levels required across various functional zones, including:

  • Executive offices
  • Open-plan workstations
  • Meeting rooms
  • Reception areas
  • Collaboration zones

This technical analysis ensured compliance with international office lighting standards while maintaining superior visual comfort and energy efficiency.

Lux Study Heat Map Analysis

The lighting heat map below illustrates the calculated illumination levels across the workspace. This study ensured:

  • Uniform light distribution
  • Proper task lighting levels
  • Reduced glare and shadowing
  • Balanced ambient and focused illumination

Lux study and lighting simulation analysis for Bluecrest Capital Management office in Dubai, ensuring optimal illumination levels and high-performance workspace lighting.

3D Lighting Simulation Model

Following the 2D lux calculations, we developed a 3D lighting simulation model to visualize fixture placement and spatial light distribution.

This stage allowed us to:

  • Optimize luminaire positioning
  • Validate light uniformity
  • Ensure architectural harmony
  • Fine-tune beam angles and output levels

The simulation confirmed that the lighting design would deliver both technical accuracy and aesthetic balance within the corporate environment.

Color Temperature Strategy – Why 4000K?

Our lighting design emphasized both aesthetics and performance, incorporating:

  • Energy efficient LED linear lighting systems
  • Integrated ceiling lighting solutions
  • Accent lighting to highlight architectural features
  • Glare controlled fixtures for visual comfort
  • Uniform task lighting for open-plan workspaces

The lighting concept reinforces Bluecrest’s identity as a global investment management firm, ensuring the workspace feels contemporary, dynamic, and executive in character.

Execution Stage

Seamless Coordination with Summertown Interiors

During the execution phase, we worked closely with Summertown Interiors to ensure smooth implementation within an active commercial building.

Key challenges included:

  • Coordination alongside ongoing fit-out activities
  • Working within tight project timelines
  • Maintaining precision during installation
  • Ensuring alignment with architectural finishes

Through regular site inspections, open communication, and adaptive planning, we delivered a lighting solution that seamlessly integrated with the interior design concept.

Final Outcome – A Benchmark in Office Lighting Design Dubai

The completed Bluecrest Capital Management headquarters now stands as a benchmark example of corporate office lighting design in Dubai.

The lighting enhances:

  • Workplace productivity
  • Employee comfort
  • Architectural features
  • Brand identity
  • Client impressions

By combining technical expertise, advanced lighting simulations, and energy-efficient LED systems, we created a sophisticated and performance-driven corporate environment tailored for success.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates how strategic architectural lighting design can transform a corporate office into a refined, efficient, and inspiring workspace.
Through detailed lux analysis, 3D simulation modeling, and the implementation of 4000K LED lighting, we delivered a modern financial headquarters that reflects Bluecrest Capital Management’s global prestige and commitment to excellence.
Our expertise in commercial lighting design in Dubai ensures every project achieves the highest standards of functionality, visual comfort, and executive presence.
