Nulty DESIGNS EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTING FOR PREMIER RESORT IN THE ARABIAN GULF
The Waldorf Astoria Lusail, Doha 32
disciplinary design firm WATG on architecture and landscape, and Wimberly Interiors, David Collins and TGP International for interior design. The simplicity of the lighting aesthetic belies the complexity of the design response. Where possible, illumination has been concealed in the architecture to preserve a clean and refined finish.
Luminaires are visible when they serve a purpose, enhancing the mood with moments of emotional intrigue or adding character through decorative focal points. Façade illumination builds a sense of drama and discovery from the outset. Bands of light follow the curves of the building to create a rhythmic flow of light that highlights the graceful form of the architecture. At landscape level, the team played with scale and intensity to ensure that atmospheric lighting is evident at every turn. High-level lighting emphasises dining terraces and swimming pools, while low-level illumination creates intimacy around seating areas and walkways. The exterior composition brings balance and visual cohesiveness to the resort, while improving permeability from one area to another.
Luxury In the all-day dining area, Peacock Alley, light was integrated within the curved contours of a peacockinspired ceiling, creating a stunning visual feature that elevates the dining experience to a whole new level.
a leading Once guests step inside the hotel, a focus on discreet ambient illumination prevails in the form of minimalist lines of light in the ceiling and backlit panels, which lend the reception desk and café bar an ethereal quality. A similar design language was expressed in the guest rooms and suites, where cove lighting forms a soft backdrop against which domestic-style luminaires are distinctly more visible. In the resort’s beach club centrepiece, Sushisamba, the interplay of light and shadow brings a spectacular layer of artistry and intensity to the scheme. Cove and shelf lighting have been integrated in a canopystyle bar to create the illusion of dappled light filtering through the trees. Decorative pendants theatrically mark out the curvature of the showpiece bar and produce a warm, beguiling effect. Lighting concealed in seating pods, decorative ceiling panels, and underneath the bar adds further contrast and character. Laidback luxury is the defining characteristic of the resort’s other restaurants. In the all-day dining area, Peacock Alley, light was integrated within the curved contours of a peacock-inspired ceiling, creating a stunning visual feature that elevates the dining experience to a whole new level. Italian
within dining concept Scarpetta takes its cue from a New York aesthetic, teaming art-deco style fittings with ambient illumination hidden in the ceiling. The crowning glory of the scheme is a chandelier in the private dining room, made up of radiating strings of translucent Capiz shells that emit a soft glow from within. Upstairs in The Highmore lounge bar, the lighting shifts to reflect a change in tempo. Coffer illumination and diffuse lines of light around the bar evoke a moody ambience, which extends out onto the rooftop terrace where warm lines of light below planters, pendants, and tabletop lanterns form cosy pockets of illumination around seating areas.
is A playful approach to lighting magnifies the experience in the ESPA Life Spa. In the men’s pool, a sparkling fibre optic ceiling brings an unexpected touch of drama by creating the illusion that guests are swimming beneath the night sky. The ceiling is also the focus in the gym, where lines of light travel from the core to the perimeter of the room to animate the space. In the women’s pool, coffer lighting gently illuminates the body of water and halos of diffuse light highlight a sequence of marble feature walls. International lighting design studio Nulty has delivered a lighting scheme for the Waldorf Astoria Lusail, an expansive 5-star retreat on the east coast of Doha. Covering 66,300 sqm, the resort features 429 guest rooms, villas, and apartments, eight restaurants and an ESPA Life spa.

Spanning 425 sqm, Marcello is located on the rooftop of The Stay Boulevard Nistantasi, a space redolent of Italy with olive and citrus trees, and a terracottatiled terrace with Boshphorus views. The interiors, designed by world-renowned design studio Autoban, include a striking entrance featuring bespoke frescoes and rich burgundy marble. The space is elevated by a coveted art collection featuring works by artists such as Jeff Robb, Vahram Davtian, Sedat Girgin, and Erdal Akbaş. Marcello brings together the finest flavours from all corners of Italy; offering a diverse menu selection with customisable options from the thin-crusted Milanese pizza of the North to the puffy Neapolitan pizza of the South. The menu includes Delizia lemon dessert from the Amalfi coast, and delectable dishes including Tiramisu, Ossobuco and Risotto.
