Located in the Dubai business bay, Damac Paramount is an imposing, 268-metre building that dialogues with the skyline thanks to the four tapered structures that make it up.

Damac Paramount rises up around a central square, where one of the four towers houses the hotel complex and a series of private residences. The other three are made up of more than 1200 luxury suites.

In the common areas, splendour reigns in every detail to cater to guests and residents, meeting any type of need. Shopping, a relaxation area with solarium and wellness services: a modern lifestyle in a perfect combination of opulence and design.  

For Damac Paramount, the outdoor lighting was handled by Linea Light Group. A custom approach was required, given the specific nature of the job and the uniqueness of the project, to best describe the soft lines of the structure.

Two products were used to light this building. The first is Paseo, a linear profile in its custom version called TL1. It has a polycarbonate core with an exterior body in aluminium for wall-mounting with a 180° optics aperture and it takes on a personalised profile made up of a single piece in order to prevent any type of sliding between the parts. In addition to this, a Bianco circuit system was implemented to provide the option of addressable white optics every 300 mm that can be applied over the entire façade.  

The second, Rubber, a LED strip positioned on the rooftop, also provides an RGBW solution. In this case, the peculiarity was finding a specific colour point for the customer that would contrast with the Arab sky: royal blue.  

A DMX control system was applied on both products which manages the direction signals to create light play over the entire body of the building.
