Project Information
Nestled on the fringes of Dubai, where the modern metropolis yields to the desert's expanse, stands the Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club—a testament to luxury, sport, and Arabian opulence.
Owned by the illustrious Habtoor family, this exclusive haven caters not only to discerning travelers but also to the global community of polo enthusiasts.
A Desert Oasis for Polo Enthusiasts
Dubai reverberates with the echoes of polo matches, a sport embraced by locals and internationals alike.
The resort, with its sprawling 5-star hotel, 145 villas for discerning guests, and a quartet of well-appointed polo grounds, epitomizes the convergence of luxury and athletic fervor.
NVC's Luminous Contribution
In the realm of such splendor, the illumination had to be equally exceptional.
NVC Lighting is proud to have graced the hotel, luxury villas, and sprawling grounds with its luminous artistry.
The extensive endeavor included crafting both decorative and functional lighting for public areas, guest chambers, corridors, and even the outdoors.
Amidst this luminous array, there emerged a creation of unparalleled grandeur—the equestrian chandeliers.
Equestrian Elegance
The interior designers at U+A envisaged equestrian chandeliers—each an embodiment of a horse's grace and strength.
NVC Lighting embraced this vision with two distinct proposals.
The first manifested as a captivating symphony of polygonal crystals suspended individually or in clusters, evoking the essence of equine majesty.
The second vision transformed crystal rods into a prism of light, culminating in a mesmerizing depiction of a horse when viewed from below.
These creations, bathed in the glow of suspended LED fixtures, captured the essence of equine grandeur.
Creating Themes through Craftsmanship
NVC Lighting extended its artistry to curate custom-made fixtures that harmonized with U+A's South American/Spanish theme.
With every bespoke creation, the resort's ambiance was enriched, becoming a canvas for themed sophistication.
