Transforming Visitor Experience Through Lighting
At Michael Grubb Studio, we specialise in visitor experience lighting in the UAE that guides, enhances, and inspires. For the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Visitor Centre, our approach was to balance modern architectural lighting techniques with cultural and historical sensitivity, creating an environment that is both immersive and reflective of the mosque’s significance.
Lighting in such spaces is not just about visibility but about shaping visitor perception, enhancing wayfinding, and highlighting curated pieces on display. Our design focuses on creating immersive experiences that resonate with both local and international visitors, ensuring that every moment in the space feels considered and engaging.
Why the Middle East Context Matters
